Hay prices have come down so much we want to fill the barn and not worry about it come winter when we need to supplement. We can get winter forage hay - wheat, oats & barley - for $100/ton direct from a farmer we know. It's supposed to be fine stemmed and heavily grained. Is this a good hay nutritionally? We usually feed alfalfa in the winter, but if winter forage is a good hay for cattle it would allow us to get a lot more bang for our buck.
One more question...we've never stored a grained hay and I imagine it attracts tons of mice. Is this important to consider?
