[QUOTE="stocky, post: 308453, member: 1150"] Hersh, with grass already in the lot, 600 lb heifers, 50 lb bales, and feed them until April 10, you will still have a little hay left over with a dozen head. That will give you some cushion. If it is real cold they will eat more, if it is a nice winter they will eat less. They will grow and eat more later than now so I figured 700 lb average based on 600 lbs in and 800 lbs out. The blend will be much richer than is needed, but you only have a certain amount of grass hay. I, also believe you are light on your weighing of the alfalfa and clover hay. The grass weights might be about right. Good luck, let us know how many bales you have left when grass gets here next spring. [/QUOTE]
