[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 648356, member: 4362"] It could be a lot of things. If he cuts all these corners on his hay makes you wonder what else he is neglecting to do. What is he using the hay for? (Main diet or filler for feed mix) If he is using it for their main diet and not supplementing then this could be part of the problem but I suspect this would be more evident in a poor calving percentage. I learned this the hard way myself. I used to buy "good" hay from a fella who cut every corner there was but I got it for a decent price. I had all sorts of calf health problems and a very crappy calving rate - about 70% on a 60 day schedule - but I was saving money. :oops: I agree with what TB said and believe you can actually starve a cow with a full stomache.
