[QUOTE="novatech, post: 446202, member: 5494"] I feed very little hay. Standing forage with rye and clover are my main winter feed. I do not have any dahl but it looks like the most promiseing, although not a native. I have also found that cattle eat a lot of weeds and leaves from trees. Although they probably do not provide much in the way of protein I beleive they help balance their diet. The key to this type of program is less cattle per acre. Therefore it takes more land. I have found that although I have fewer cattle I can actually make a profit off the ones I have useing this system. High quantities of cattle on less land mean higher inputs and much more risk. I also relize than being in a more southern climate helps and this type of program may not work further north. [/QUOTE]
