[QUOTE="dun, post: 118244, member: 34"] Generally we only feed any kind of hay for a couple of months at most during the winter. Drought years longer and sooner. Cows were dry and in the last trimester. We've selected for animals that can do their job on fescue and stockplied fescue during the majority of the winter, the calf at around BCS 6-6.5 with no supplement other then on those very low temp windy and wet nights. Beef cows don;t need 16-17% protein to do their job, alfalfa would work as a protein supplemnt if the main forage falls into the 6% or below range. dun [/QUOTE]
