[QUOTE="B&M Farms, post: 866144, member: 15666"] I have never had to limit feed hay or feed the quality hay I have this year before. Usually kept hay and loose mineral in front of them all winter and cubed some with high protien cubes when needed. This year I may have to stretch my hay a little to make it to spring unless we start getting enough rain to plant winter grass. I am dropping calves starting last week and the cows are surprisingly in good condition (about a average of a 5 right now) considering the drought. I should calve out by the end of november hopefully. I didnt make enough hay this year and have already bought one load of awful hay sight unseen that was supposed to be good. The cost doesnt seem to weight out with buying this stuff at these prices and Im still about a month short. Can I limit feed hay and slightly increase the cubes? Are there other alternative feeds? Im still planning to plant a cover crop of rye, but I cant depend on that. Any advice is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
