[QUOTE="johndeerefarmer, post: 173429, member: 2084"] Right now I have 40 moma cows and 10 replacement heifers I bale my own hay. Here's why: I am in charge of when it's cut. If it gets rained on its my fault, I can't blame the custom baler. I can cut it when I want to cut it. I try to cut every 4-5 weeks (depending on the amount of rain that I have gotten). With this time frame I can get 12-14% protien on my coastal. A custom baler will show up when he can, not necessarily when I want him to. For you guys buying hay: If you don't check the protein content, you don't know what you are getting. Green is NOT an indicator of high quality hay. [/QUOTE]
