[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1476770, member: 18945"] Sounds about right. 3, maybe 4# per day/hd is about what I've seen in the past but this winter, consumption is way down, and the weather has been a lot colder. Maybe my hay is better than I thought. Got it from somewhere different in late Sept, Late, I guess 3rd cut bahia/coastal mix because my original hay was ruined by high water, but I'd be surprised if they are eating more RM than 1 1/2 lb per day each. (Hay wasn't tested and I'm not going to test it at this late stage of the game) Is there some reason they would not consume as much in a cold winter as in a milder one? [/QUOTE]
