[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1847907, member: 43196"] Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Figure on 3.5% of a cows body weight per day as the amount of hay an animal will consume. There is variation as a bull will consume about 3.0 and a dairy cow 4.0, but a pregnant or lactating cow is about 3.25. Add in a 'winter factor' component and you have a good estimate. [/QUOTE]
