[QUOTE="Willow Springs, post: 599861, member: 9002"] Sounds to me like you all like feeding a lot of hay. How can you afford to feed cows all they want to eat. Cattle will eat far more than they need to meet nutritional requirements. I also find that the more I feed the more the cattle waste becasue they can be picky; research that I have read backs me up on this. Somebody is feeding 10 bales a year!! We feed half of that and the cows look fine; not too fat not too thin; and if they do get thin they go on the cull list. I know a lot of people that feed less or none; just manage their grazing resorces better. Sounds to me like the advice of a good ruminant nutritionist is in order to make sure these cows are fed properly, becasue a lot of the advice so far is off in left field. [/QUOTE]
