[QUOTE="johnny25, post: 273545, member: 4738"] Yes your right i was measuring the oats bales. Assuming each oat bale weighs 80lbs. Sorry for my ignorance, just remember that oats are new to me, I fed almond hulls and alfalfa for years, but never oats. Anyways, I guess I am confused to because I have always been told that oats were more of a cheap filler not necessarily something that would put on weight. So i figured that if you decreased the alfalfa to make it a 50%alalfa and 50%oats mix then your would probably just maintain weight instead of putting it on. In my head the more alfalfa your feed and less oats you feed the more weight they put on. I always figured that people fed oats because it was cheap not necessarily because it was good for the animals to grow. [/QUOTE]
