[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 592445, member: 6797"] Where are you located? How many cows? Weather conditions? Cow condition? Feed available in woods? Types of shelter? Eating snow or drinking water through the winter? All important questions that need to be taken into consideration before a decent answer can be given. Grain may be required and more importantly it may NOT be required. Better to spend as little as possible. I can tell you that if you are talking small squares, they need a lot more per cow than a 1/4 bale. Throw a bunch of hay out there - when it is almost all cleaned up - that is the right amount. Suspect there is very little loose hay lying around after you feed your animals. In my area we plan on using 10 round bales (6 footers) per cow per winter. So you can see that there are many variables to your question - more info please. Bez+ [/QUOTE]
