[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1785300, member: 12607"] I couldn't afford to buy enough hay to subsidize that much waste. Ever. Last few years, we were unrolling. Cows came into barnlot to eat their grain (DDG) ration; while they were in the barnlot, we unrolled on the paddock they would go back out to. We 'limit-fed' enough hay to provide each cow with ~25# hay/day. They would clean up the day's hay ration inside of 2-3 hours. Only on really muddy days was there any wastage, and even then not a lot got tread in. Most dry or frozen days, they cleaned up every scrap. If it was REALLY soupy, we had a 50x80 concrete feeding pad that we would unroll a bale on and let them stay in that lot until they cleaned it up. [/QUOTE]
