I plan to buy heifer calves (5-600 lb) this fall with the intent of growing them into mamas. I'm looking at different hay options that are available in this area, of which one is peanut top hay. This hay is new to this country and not much is know about the pros and cons of feeding it. I've heard that the protein % is good, the hay contains dirt, and the round bails break easier than grass hay. What else do I need to know?? Is this a good choice for what I have in mind?? How much will I need per calf to winter them?? Thanks Don
