[QUOTE="Jalopy, post: 556272, member: 7856"] If you are looking for lowest cost protein or lowest cost per pound of hay the 5x5 is your best deal. However you must consider palatability of the hay also and the condition the hay is in. I used 120lbs of protein in the 5 x5 bale (1200# x 10% P) and divided $45 by that for a protein cost of 37.5 cents per pound and a total hay value of 3.75 cents per pound compared to the 4 x5 (900# x 16% Protein = 144 # OF protein) and divided that into $60 for a protein cost of 41.6 cents per pound and a total hay value cost of 5 cents per pound. While these definitely considerations to consider only you can decide if the hay is of quality to feed your cattle. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
