[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 20238"] I live in Iowa, and one way we stretch our hay supply is by grinding it. We take a round bale of quality hay and grind it with 2 cornstalk bales. If you don't have cornstalks, you can use poor quality hay and hire a tub grinder to mix it together. We feed this the 4 months prior to calving, this is also fed with 5 lbs. corn and protein tubs. It really stretch's out a low hay supply and also brings down the cost of the quality hay. We feed 30 lbs. of hay a day + grain. We also found out that to let all the cows get some grain, take a bucket of grain and make 4-5 small piles on the ground and the cows will have to work to get it picked up, but they all get some, they clean the ground perfect.
