[QUOTE="TLCfromARK, post: 49534, member: 198"] Another way to tell is when the herd chases your truck around creating dust storms, bawling or they start breaking into the hay barn and helping themselves. Of course this means you should have started feeding somewhat earler. I've even heard ( never seen it myself ) that some people might call their vet out to evaulate the herds BCS, draw blood, check out the "flops" for % floppinness, etc. before making such a critical call as to when to start feeding hay. :lol: Really it depends on many factors, how much grass you have, how much hay you have, how the cows look. IMHO if you think they need some hay give them a roll and see if they clean it up. If they don't eat it all, they'll getting plenty of grazing else where. ;-) [/QUOTE]
