[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 627796, member: 2383"] We were short on hay last year and had to feed a lot of stalks. Had two groups of cows here at home, gave one group a lick tank and supplemented the other with range cubes for comparison. The lick tank group would eat pretty near the whole bale with little waste, their consumption seemed to go up with the lick tank. They did not hold body condition as good as the cube group. The cube group didn't eat as much, and was more finicky with the stalks, but they looked great. Gave them about 5lbs/head every other day. Thankfully this year we've got hay out the yin-yang so I haven't bought the first lb of supplement, don't plan on it. [/QUOTE]
