[QUOTE="WarEagle73, post: 1237784, member: 19171"] Spent some time at our farm this weekend and took some pictures. We are done feeding hay finally. Using some new grazing management we cut our hay consumption back to less than 2 large round bales per cow-calf pair from 3-4 in years past. With a bit more work we think we can get that down even lower without cutting back our cow numbers or getting more ground.
