[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1850070, member: 43196"] bored is a possibility. Nothing to be overly concerned with is I suspect they are getting all the nutrition they need, but there might be a lack of volume. If cows are getting enough nutrition but are not keeping their gut full, they will proceed to consume every wood product available within a pasture given a chance to put volume in the rumen. Conversely, you can/are able to starve a cow to death with a full rumen when there is no nutrition available in the hay they are consuming. It pays to test your hay for nutritional content. It takes a very long time to starve a cow to death, but it can be done (all winter on no quality hay - NOT better than snowballs) [/QUOTE]
