[QUOTE="east_tex, post: 1408935, member: 17335"] If you assume feeding 1000 pound rolls of hay to 1000 pound cows then I think about one roll per cow per winter month. Our extension service here recommends 2.6 percent of body weight of per cow per day and to assume a 20 percent waste of hay. So 1000 pound cow times .026 then divide by .8 for the waste and multiply by thirty for the days in the month = 975 pounds of hay in a30 day month. [/QUOTE]
