[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 607152, member: 8978"] Started feeding on December 14. Feeding 3/1150lb. hay bales and 3/900 lb. straw bales a day to 130 cows and May/June calves. Works out to 26.5 lb./pair for hay and about 21 lbs. of straw. They clean the hay right up but not all the straw, which is okay as it gives them a place to lay down other than bare ground. Basically the straw is a freebie as it is mine own and is a nuisance if left in the field. Whatever it costs me to bale it and haul it a short distance. I value it at 1 cent a pound. Winter came with a bang around here and it was minus 32 yesterday, minus 34 the day before. This morning it is minus 16 so I guess the chinook is coming in. It is still brutal cold in Saskatchewan and Manitoba though. Sure do appreciate those chinooks. [/QUOTE]
