[QUOTE="gus2121, post: 1178397, member: 22482"] I didn't test the hay I bought this year, but the pasture has been heavily chicken littered for several years. I bought first cutting hay of rye grass and clover. My figuring is that elbon cost $13/bushel. Planting 2 bushels per acre, $7 per acre drill rental, 200#/acre ammonia nitrate (fertilizing twice) @ 385/ton is a total or $1430. The feed at $230/ton I can buy a little over 6 tons, at 5 lbs/day that is enough to feed for roughly 48 days. Last year I don't think the 20 acres I planted produced that much. The pasture I planted last year was chicken littered before planting. I just want to get the most for my money. The QLF feed is 415/ton and is mostly water and wont last them 2 weeks. The DM content doesn't seem to make the liquid feed cost effective. I am very open to suggestions on what people are using to supplement their cows with. [/QUOTE]
