[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 605595, member: 2308"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="tn_DSC06669.jpg"]1[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="tn_DSC06667.jpg"]0[/ATTACH] This is how we are feeding our cows this year. With the cost of hay, we had to work in a bunch of straw. So the cows are getting about 40% alfalfa hay, 40% barley straw and 20% kochia/barley. They are also getting promolas as a protien supplement. The alfalfa is costing us $.05/lb, the barley straw is $.0325/lb and the kochia also about $.0325/ lb. Depending on how long the pile lasts (hopefully about 50 days), it will be costing us about $1.18/cow per day. To feed hay would have cost us about $1.50/cow/day. Then, we will bring them home and will tubgrind a bunch more of the same stuff, although we may add in more hay as we will be getting near/into calving by then. [/QUOTE]
