[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1107950, member: 17767"] Very informative. Thanks. I have protein tubs out with my hay. They have free choice loose mineral and water within 50 feet. The water is public water supplied by a Ritchie heated double SS baisn Model. I do put out some mixed feed that is 11 % protein but not enough to really be a significant factor. The cows look good. In testimony, I was advised through my contact with Fire Sweep Ranch (Kris) to separate the heifers that are due in the next 40 days so they do not have full-time access to the hay ring. So in my case, I have been more concerned about over-condition. Of course, my cows went into winter "fat" due to a low stocking rate on excellent pasture. I do have one cow that has a calf that was born September 1 and that calf is very big. Much bigger than the others that were born about the same time. I think the calf has pulled her down; she produces a lot of milk. But for the most part, this winter has not been a factor. I have no idea how to rate the quality of my hay other than to say it is fescue, orchard grass, and red clover. [b]Maybe it is the LOVE Factor[/b] :D [/QUOTE]
