[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 922671, member: 6897"] Cows need "x" amount of DRY MATTER every day. The fodder is beautiful but stop and think. If one cow eats 80 lbs. of this stuff on an "as fed" basis she will get approximately 12-20 lbs. maximum dry matter. That is not enough dry matter for maintenance and production so hopefully it will give you some idea how much of this fodder will be required to maintain the cow and allow her to produce a profitable amount of milk at the same time. A good idea but very limited in application unless you can grow and clip an awfully lot of this stuff. Seems to be more applicable to smaller animals requiring less dry matter intake. [/QUOTE]
