[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1026005, member: 6291"] Yall don't write me off yet.. :D Im trying and appreciate yalls experience. Im not a lost cause... I promise. Are you saying its cheaper to grow the "hay" in pastures but not bale it... just graze it? That's what Im trying to say... its cheaper to stay under stocked, grow and have pleanty of grass. Then just roll out the protien tubs when the grass has lost its protien. The roughage, filler, what ever is right there on ther ground. To calculate the true cost of protien you have to factor is the cost from inception to actually getting it to the cows mouth. Just saying a bale costs $50 does't even get you close to the true cost of feeding hay. I understand its not for every one. We can have as little as 2 mo of winter feeding. :D [/QUOTE]
