[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 702355, member: 539"] Well, I'm thinking it is going to depend on what type of feed, and what time of year. You could get by with feeding once a week if feeding hay, but you would be wasting a fair amount of that hay - thus increasing your costs. Maybe those increased costs would be offset by the decreased use of gasoline/diesel fuel, maybe not. There is also the risk of your animals not having enough to eat towards the end of that week due to the waste. We always fed on a day to day basis - it reduced waste, made sure their daily requirements were being met, gave us the opportunity to check mineral/salt, and gave us the chance to look over the herd.
