[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1424128, member: 25884"] We do free choice in round bales when ours are fenced in smaller lots. Let them run out for one day so they clean it up. If you don't want them to eat it into the ground, a little more hay is better than not enough and they will usually rather eat the grass than the hay. You could try running an electric wire and splitting it and then rotating them a bit and you will actually need less hay than if they can eat the best parts real short. I am assuming that the feeder will be freezer beef? So it won't be around forever and the calves can be future feeders for sale or for your freezer again. I think it sounds like you are doing okay for now. [/QUOTE]
