[QUOTE="Old_man_emu, post: 931113, member: 17893"] what I have generally been advised is that hay will lower the quality of the diet. When grass is green and actively growing it is very nutritious and highly digestible so the cow can get every bit of nutrition out of the grass. Hay will slow the gut down and some say help if the grass is passing to fast, but generally I would say if the cattle are growing and milking well then leave it at that. My cattle are always very dirty and their poo is watery but they perform as good as any in the area. [/QUOTE]
