[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 310059, member: 2308"] Thanks Jeanne. We feed only the amount of feed that they need for 1 day. Which means that we feed them every day. On the rare occaisons when we won't be around for a day we will roll out the next days feed in a different location. They won't find it until at least late in the afternoon, and if they are content they won't look for it until the next morning. There is 128 cows in the big bunch and we feed 3 bales for 2 days and 4 bales on the third day. Works out to right around 30 lbs/cow/day. As for feeding location the bunch is on about 145 acres. So we can spread the feeding around quite a bit. So we move the feed ground every week or so. That manure is sure good for the soil ;-) . As long as we feed reasonably good quality and not too stalky feed they clean it up pretty good. Better than a round bale feeder in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
