[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1736247, member: 17524"] Please keep one thing in mind. Cattle need dry matter, so if you can put out any old bales (straw, hay, just any crap hay you might have on hand) that will help them get their dry matter requirement and they will be much more content. We used to think in spring cattle chased green grass. What they were chasing was dry matter. The grass had about everything they needed, but it was full of moisture. Adding a big round bale of junk in the pasture, they ate it. Not like if you put a bale of feed out, but they would go by and have a little until the bale was gone. We saw they were more content. They did breed up really well too. [/QUOTE]
