[QUOTE="bdog, post: 90804, member: 485"] I have five acres. About 3 acres of it is fenced off with nothing growing on it. It is farmland and I recently disced it up. They are having an internet auction locally that ends today and they have 1000lb round bales of italian rye grass that are currently at $1.00 each. It is located 20 miles from my place and I have a trailer to go get it. They have about 1000 bales. I was thinking of buying 300 bales, buying 30 steers, sticking them on my 3 acres and feeding them for about 10 months or until the hay is gone. Basically I am trying to take adavantage of this cheap feed. I am wondering if I can feed them it alone, or if I need to add grain, etc. My neighbor who is a lot more knowledgeable about this than me looked at the hay and said it would be good for cattle.
