[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 687275, member: 8829"] I use them when in the winter to supplement the stockpiled grazing and also when I am feeding hay in the winter How do you figure it would be cheaper to feed higher protein hay to do that I would have to buy it and the cost would be more than the 27cents per day per cow/calf pair if I bought alfalfa at $150 per ton and fed each cow 5 lbs that would be 37.5 cents per day and then by the time you figure fuel and and the piece of equipment to put it out especially in the months that I am grazing stockpiled fescue I don't see how that is cheaper feeding the tubs for a 100 days (only as a reference #) is only $27.00 per cow calf pair I can't buy any hay that will be higher protein and feed them for 100 days for that price plus I would have to feed the hay the full 100 days where with the tubs I can utilize the grass I have and not have to feed the hay but 50 days out of that 100 I usually don't feed much hay before the 1st of Jan and am usually done feeding hay by the 1st of April because of the tubs I can get 60 days or more grazing on stockpiled grasses [/QUOTE]
