[QUOTE="fargus, post: 720427, member: 13480"] The way I read it, it sounds like Lucky is purchasing hay; not getting a custom operator in to cut his. Then you are in control of the quality you are willing to purchase. Most of the cash hay croppers here have an outlet for low-quality stuff. As a cow-calf man I will take the rained on, overly mature, or otherwise lower quality hay; if the price is right. I can feed that during the second trimester and the cows do fine on it. I only need high quality hay during the last trimester, and we calve on grass. If I feed really good hay all winter I have fat cows, unless we severely limit-feed, which I don't like for ruminal health reasons. [/QUOTE]
