[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 607866, member: 1715"] I currently "bale graze" by providing a row of bales with rings, which has an electric poly twine temporary fence to keep them from the next row. No tractors/no grinders/no unrollers. I force them to clean up to some extent, but they will break down the electric fence and have a hay buffet party :banana: if I don't watch it closely. In this situation I think weight is mostly controlled by hay or straw quality. Dun - I realize processing increases waste. I had heard that limit feeding calves increases grain feed conversion, but I had never seen any cow hay data. In my case - - I was trying to put some pounds on before the below zero weather hit. The shorthorn and hereford crosses were really packing on some pounds. The angus crosses were not gaining as much. [/QUOTE]
