We are feeding 12 square bales a day to 32 cows and 8 heifers. They seem to be holding their condition pretty well. But only a couple of the easy keepers look fat. We always feed the same number od bales however when it's realy cold(below 0) we feed alfalfa grass mix that goes about 75 to 80 lbs a bale. When we get a warm spell it's straight grass hay that weighs 60 to 65lbs a bale.
How about the rest of you folks out there. What kind and how much for a given number of cows.
We also feed just before dark to promote daylight calving.
