[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1831298, member: 18945"] Hay is providing both protein and energy. Energy=heat. Do you, being in a colder region than say, Jan, think your consumption rates would be lower IF you were in a more southern clime? I don't know off the top of my head, how to figure dry matter equivalent from hay but around 28lbs per head per day DME just to maintain condition sticks in my mind. Either way, You and GCreekrch and the folks out/up in Wy and other cold, snowy, icy, windy, 'freezin's the reason' places seem to have this cold weather thing down right and most of us here are in awe of how you manage it. (I am anyway) But your winter inputs seem higher than what I'm used to seeing down south and I think it's not because we have 'some' winter grass..some years. Energy requirements have to be part of it. [/QUOTE]
