[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1526537, member: 20599"] Soooo...some of you may remember we baled our own hay this year, for the first time. Weeeeelll, let's just say that between the cranky weather and cranky equipment, it's been interesting. Net result at the moment is that we have more than enough wrapped rounds of baleage, but far less small hay squares than usual. For reasons having to do with, well, a lot of other reasons, we like to have have the flexibility to either throw a few squares or get the tractor out a couple times a week and give baleage. So, they usually get a fairly even mix, plus protein tubs and loose minerals. What will they be low on if we feed them nearly all baleage winter, and very little squares? (Keep in mind upstate New York=6 mos winter). Can they get by or do they need more stemmy stuff? Plan to ask vet too and maybe test the stuff, but figured you all will either allay my concerns or tell me I'm gonna kill them. :) I'm also gonna ask around and see if anyone wants to do some trading (would give them a good discount) but I think most folks are in the same boat. (Dry July-Aug so little growth, then rainy every second or third day since). [/QUOTE]
