[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17152"] For livestock in general in winter, especially ruminants and horses, HAY is most important feed. Digestion process generates lot of internal heat they need to keep warm. They should enter winter period in good condition; then, its easier to maintain condition. Probably figure 1/4 to 1/3 small square bale per day per 1000#s of animals. Supplement with breeder (Range) cubes for extra protein and minerals. When grass is poor, hay should be available at all times, especially if you have a round bale feeder. Otherwise, would recommend feeding most of their hay in evening for nighttime colder hours.
