[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 623682, member: 1682"] In an earlier thread about feed costs, I posted our feed costs for this year at about $200 per cow. That takes into effect the cost of fertilizer and a higher than normal waste percentage in our feed due to water damage. Normally, our feed cost would be around $150 or less for the winter. Add to the fact that this winter has been brutally cold, and the cows are packing it away as fast as they can. Your lucky if you can feed straw. I know a lot of guys out west and south can do this, and I am amazed that they don't realize the cost savings they are making. To land straw in the yard would be about $40 a ton for us at the cheapest, and it would have to be sourced from Manitoba. More like $50+ a ton, and that would put it on a equal footing with our hay value this year. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
