[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 156786, member: 852"] That's true...I'd forgotten about quality of hay. I'm used to seeing beef folks near me feed poor quality hay (or even straw), and most of the folks on the boards feed some sort of grass, and in those cases I think you'd agree it should be free choice. In fact, I don't think [i]any [/i]of the beef folks nearby me feed rich hay; everything's been rained on at least once (in the field or baled) and the stuff I've seen has been 1st-2nd crop and stemmy. Boss has had some heifers with [i]huge [/i]calves if they go on high-quality alfalfa silage a few weeks prior to calving in preparation for entering the milking herd. And that's just silage, no grain. Forgotten about that. Sorry. [/QUOTE]
