[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1394166, member: 25884"] We figure about 20 cows per roll per day. The rolls are in the neighborhood of 1000-1200 lbs so that is 50 lbs per head per day. There is some waste with the rolls but even allowing for that it's 40 lbs per head per day. Feeding small square bales, they weigh in the neighborhood of 40-50 lbs each and a cow will eat at least one per day. Just what we figure. So 20 per roll per day = 1 per roll per 20 days = 2 per roll per 10 days. So no I don't think it is too much if there is a little waste and the weather has been very cold. [/QUOTE]
