Hi, I'm fairly new to cattle raising so here's a question for the pros. I bought some hay and the cows won't hardly touch it. It isn't moldy or dusty. From what I can tell it was probably just a field of dried grass that was baled up (there is no green in the color at all). Is there anything I can do to encourage them to eat it at least as roughage. I talked to the guy who sold it to me and he said "It beats a snowball" but in fact even with snow all over the ground, they are hardly touching it. I put out protein tubs yesterday...
Could this hay have been sprayed with some kind of chemical that is putting the cows off their feed?
