[QUOTE="sillco, post: 24148, member: 42"] Any grass hay with protien levels above 12 % is fine. Grasses offer protien as will as energy. Alfalfa offers protein with little energy. That is why the dairymen here in Wiscosin grow alfalfa to be mixed with the corn for feed in a confinement program. The corn offers energy while the Alfalfa offers the protein, about 24% protein, very hot. Grass has it all and is better all around. Cattle on pasture eat only grass and do better than the confined animals. I had a Vet tell me once that his business is enhanced by the horse people that feed grain based feed with a little hay. He said that horses are designed to eat grass or hay as the main feed. Commercial horse feed keeps him in business. I suspect cows are designed the same way. [/QUOTE]
