[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 128019, member: 9"] Lot depends on type of pasture, quality of pasture, # of 1000 lb animal units, etc. The 30# per day per head hay when no useful grazing is available is about right. Right now we are pasturing and supplemental haying about 48 cattle (~30 or so animal units). Putting out about one bale a week now with "acceptable" pasture...we've had several good rains this fall. This fall we will have contracted for and have delivered (several summer cuttings) about 80 round bales. Current price from a local supplier delivered in our area for fertilized, irrigated bermuda is $52. a bale. Wanted to stockpile hay before price (and delivery costs) went through the roof this winter. [/QUOTE]
