[QUOTE="dun, post: 384216, member: 34"] The 64 thousand dollar question. That is the reason that most people prefer to let the cows harvest the hay and try to have the cows mostly foraging for their grub. Hay is only for those few weeks/months that the forage isn;t available. A cow will eat roughly, being generous, 3% ofher weight per day. A 1200 lb cow will eat 36 pounds a day or 1 1000 lb bale will last 27.7 days. At 35 bucks a bale that's 461 dollars a year in just hay. dun [/QUOTE]
