[QUOTE="IL Rancher, post: 313194, member: 4097"] We weighed bales one year and I really wish I could remember what they weighed. They were out of a JD 567 and I want to say they did push a ton but my memory isn't as good as I want it to be.. Would go weigh one now but we stopped feeding Alfalfa/grass hay last winter and the only thing we have baled now is stalks...Still need to weigh one of those Cow needs 2-3% of its body weight a day to feel full. So a 1200 pound cow would "need" to ingest 24-36 pounds of DM a day and that doesn't include waste which can be a lot.. I think we we feed 140 head a day hay we were in the 3-4 bales area a day depending on the type of hay and the weather and consumption.. I know there was generally no hay by the time I feed but there sure were times that they was hay an hour before I fed again.... Last time we feed lots of hay we did 4-6 bales for 240 head and a bunch of wet gluten but that was a different circmstance with lighter bales. [/QUOTE]
