[QUOTE="grubbie, post: 312074, member: 5478"] You asked how many cows we have and said my way sounds like a lot of work. Right now we have about 50 head. Unrolling and spreading it into a thin windrow wastes no hay in my opinion. Yes, it is a little extra work, but cows require some work. There are easier ways of course but this is the way we do it to minimize waste. It maybe takes an extra 20 minutes to pitch the hay into a thinner windrow. We also use rings, however, in the smaller pasture for our 10 replacement heifers. The rings are great for a smaller group and are very convenient but they do waste some feed. So in my opinion it is basically a choice of waste vs. convenience, whichever is more important in your situation. [/QUOTE]
