I have 230 bales of very rich alfalfa, 70 bales of even more potent red clover, 150 bales of just mix grass and 100 bales of timothy/red clover. These are all 50lb bales. How many young and what weight hefers can I safely feed til april? 4 600lb? They will be in a 1 acre lot that has itself alot of good grass left uncut, About 16" tall back in the fall.
By then I will have 30 acres fenced off split into 2 lots. By mid summer I will double that and will have 4 15 acres lots to move them around on. I also have 20 acres I square bale (with accumalator) so instead of selling I plan on feeding. I am going to have to drill in more grass in the alfalfa cause I think its too rich to feed by itself. But that is the bigger picture. I know its very area specific but am curious as to what you all think this situation can handle.
