I bought some small square bales because of our drought,but it is supposed to be two years old (alfalfa (sp) orchard grass mixed) mostly alfalfa. Its green and has been in barn but one side was exposed and some of them bales look bleached out or dry. anyway I have been feeding these bales and cows get loose manure, I figured the protein on 2 year old hay would be down. Do I need to not feed as much? Or do I need to feed some of my timothy, orchardgrass mix big bales every so often?These cows are on pasture and dont get anything else except minerals. JHH
