[QUOTE="Otha, post: 1739908, member: 41397"] So 10 bales per head at 1400 pounds. So 14,000 pounds per year per cow of "pretty ok" hay. When we feed in the winter we feed 25-35 pounds per cow per day depending on quality. At 35 pounds per day for worse quality hay we could feed a dry cow for 400 days. 14000/35=400. It would be more hay and less days for pairs but still I bet we could nearly feed all year with that much hay per cow. Do you figure in your cost of feeding that hay? Wear and tear on machinery, fuel and such? [/QUOTE]
