[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1512069, member: 24583"] I agree TB. But the problem is the only reasonably priced supplementation we have here is WCS if you can get it. Even it’s gettong to where the contract most of it. I love WCS when I can get it. It’s great feed. Very labor intensive but good feed. Everything else is in a bag and costs too much. I’m not aware of any other byproducts anywhere close. I do plant winter grazing but it’s commonplace for us to have dry falls so its often February-March before I can graze. Have good grass by late April most years. If I had 8% hay and 1200 heavy bred cows, would 5lbs/head of 20% range cubes be about right? If so that would cost me another $1.20/hd/day. Adds up fast. Edited to add: this topic interests me very much. I would love to quit feeding hay and just graze cereal grains in winter. Problem is usually moisture related. Thought about a pivot and well but it simply doesn’t pencil out with what I have to work with. I’m interested in only feeding hay as a last resort. Or at least minimizing it as much as possible.
