[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 24241"] I live in Iowa and grazing cornstalks is the only way. Everybody uses the cornstalks as a cheap feed for a few months. We have learned to feed our cows some whole corn two weeks prior to turn-out. We give them 5 lbs a day and increase it by 1 pound every other day until we reach 12-14 lbs a day. We leave them out their all winter until it thaws then they come into a dry lot, but like now we have the cows with babies back out their because it is dry and lots of clean places to lay. It also helps to have a clean place to move the babies, so we can control scours, usually none. I would fence it in no matter how much work it is. Stop and figure out how much it costs you a day to feed hay, then compare it to cornstalks, which is practically free. [/QUOTE]
