[QUOTE="killingtime, post: 712825, member: 13032"] I've started feeding hay recently and I've been putting enough hay to equal each cow getting 2% of their body weight a day, which I believe is what they should get(?). I work fulltime as a firefighter and because of my schedule I can't feed everyday. So I've been putting out enough hay for a few days at the time. The cows are eating the hay faster than they should be by my estimation and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I don't have a scale and weights are estimated using a weigh tape. The cows are cleaning the hay up and acting hungry quicker than I believe they should be. Am I not giving them enough hay or are they just eating more than they should? I'm wondering if I need to feed more or just let them bawl until it is time for more hay? [/QUOTE]
