[QUOTE="ny_grass, post: 616314, member: 8237"] Hi I didn't feel put down (I've developed a tough hide since I started hanging around these parts ;-), I just didn't understand what informed your comment. One thing, though I wrote out the mixture by the ton, I'm only buying 1/2 ton (10 100 lb bags). If I'm feeding them about 50 lbs/day, that should take me through about 3 weeks. At that point I'll reevaluate where their condition is. But, I am up here in upstate new (was 5F last night) and I am feeding them hay that's been tested as having only 6.4 available protein (dry matter basis). The energy (which I think is represented by the TDN line) is 60. I've been told that this is pretty poor hay. At 50 lbs. I'm below where others have advised me to be (1% of body weight). So, is your comment the result of your being a forage/hay only guy? Or do you just feed less grain per day? thanks JR [/QUOTE]
