[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 608289, member: 8978"] jka: Don't know what your bales weigh, but if they are standard round bales at 1100 lb. at 12-16 bales a week for 43 cows that is 43.85-58.47 lb./cow/day? Don't know if a cow could get 58 lb. of dry hay in her guts! Again don't know your circumstances but feeding from Oct. 7 to May 15 is 221 days. If you bought your hay for 3 cents a lb. it would cost you $290- $387/cow? In todays tough times that is a pretty hard cost to take? Maybe you should try to find a way to lower your feed costs?
