[QUOTE="eric, post: 28660, member: 7"] I was going through a 1000 lb bale every 8 days this past winter, and I had 4 big cows. So that was 4 bales per month, or 4000 lbs a month. So figure 4000 lbs / 4 hd = 1000 lbs per month per hd. 1000 lbs / 31 days = 32.25 lbs per day. These were big beefmaster mamas who had just calved in late November, so maybe they eat more than longhorns? Or do you think I fed to much? I let them have free range to the bales, but only put out one bale at a time and made sure it was 95% gone before I put out the next bale. [/QUOTE]
