At least you know how big it is now. That would have been an expensive mistake ordering fertilizer for 20 acres and only needing 10

Plenty of customers call me with a 60 acre field to bale, I look them up and it'll be 16 acres, lol.

how do you calculate for the calfs ?TennesseeTuxedo said:Bfields30 said:Got 34 bales as of now one bull 12 mommas 8 calfs how much more hay will I need? Trying to have extra.
In our climate we feed about 6 4x5 rolls per head over the winter. I'd think in your environment you will feed less than that. Maybe 3-4 rolls?

most of them will be weaned I was thinking a good amount of square bales and feeding them those.TennesseeTuxedo said:Bfields30 said:how do you calculate for the calfs ?TennesseeTuxedo said:In our climate we feed about 6 4x5 rolls per head over the winter.

Allocate half as much for them.
