[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1364535, member: 12607"] Selling off or selling out may be an option, but it's not the only one. We got through 2007 - by feeding 10# hay/day and 12-15# modified distiller's grain product/day. There was NO local hay due to disastrous Easter freeze and severe drought following, and hay we bought in from out west ran me somewhere between $70-$90/roll - I swore I'd never pay that, but I did. Neighbor down the road was paying $100 for rolled cornstalks and CRP residue 'harvested' in late October... there was an ATV-sized pile of sticks and honeylocusts left over after her cows picked out the edible(though probably not very digestible) stuff. University studies(TOSU) have shown that cows actually can get by on as little as 2.5# hay/day...so long as you meet other nutritional needs with an appropriate energy/protein supplement. [/QUOTE]
