[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1727857, member: 39122"] Where I am in Arkansas I figure on 1 round bale weighing approx 1000 lbs per month per average size cow. I typically buy 5 bales per cow per winter, may only feed 3. I generally don't have to put out hay until after Thanksgiving and can quit mid March. They may eat more than one a month if the weather stays below freezing several days. So in my area just hay would run between $90-$150 annually, then there's generally some cost to growing grass, mineral, and a little grain even if it's just enough to entice them into the corral occasionally. You're further South than me so you may be able to get by with $93 a year depending on your cost of hay and how long you have to feed it if at all. I'm hoping to get more like [USER=8993]@kenny thomas[/USER] and stockpile fescue and cut back further on hay. [/QUOTE]
