[QUOTE="cotton1, post: 1264840, member: 14689"] kinda what I was afraid of. The idea of replacing 1/2 of my ground feed input cost by using the hay may not work out. I just have to figure out the best way to utilize the alfalfa hay now that I have it. Im not sure if I want to grind it in with the feed or just give them an extra 10lbs of the alfalfa every day or two. The feed is not so bad but the weather is not looking good for making a corn crop this year. If I had to buy corn it would be very expensive. Using alfalfa ground in I may could save on cotton seed meal, which is a big form of protien in my feed. Just seems like it may cause a little moisture problem with the feed. In my mind, it seems just feeding the square bales in a lbs per head per day strait out is best. Protien is one thing but my feed has vitamins/minerals and fat content that are too important to abandon. That is why I was wondering if I did a half grain, half alfalfa this year could I produce the same quality bulls with less input cost. [/QUOTE]
