[QUOTE="jka300, post: 616135, member: 8260"] Our alfalfa bales aren't full 1100 lbs, they are probably around 900 lbs because the hay field was really wet. The green feed is 1100 lbs though. The mix is 2 green feed to 4 alfalfa bales. Still last year was the exact oppisite of this year. Our green feed was around 900 lbs ( wet fields) and our alfalfa was 1100 lbs. The feeding ration was 3 and 3. We bale all of our hay, the cost to bale it for us is about $6 - $8/bale. So the price per cow is only about $105.30/cow, thats with the extra hay bales that we won't need. I am glad to say though the cows have slowed down on their eating, we are feeding around 8-10 bales now a week. The tempature is alot warmer than last month and the skies are some what clearer, except today. As for the cows eating so muchlast month, here is picture of one of our cows that calved early this year. She looks like she could calve again! :lol2: [img]http://www.ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/mable.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
