[QUOTE="Rmc, post: 1739957, member: 39072"] Is the cheap hay because of low %of calf crop or is low calf crop a result of cheap hay? So how much is the free product from the distillery actually costing you .? How about time ? Storage ? Transportation? Or do you have a magic vehicle that gets the same gas mileage and wear and tear on it regardless of wether it is loaded or empty? Or is it a fuel efficient car that you could be using to get to work if tou weren’t hauling “free” feed home for the cows. In my area it is cheaper to feed feeder quality alfalfa hay then it is to feed cheep grass hay. Way less expensive and time consuming to feed alfalfa as a primary source of nutrients and minerals. Then feed low tdn grass hay and then have add minerals and this and that to feed program to try to make up for the short fall in the feed . Research has also proven higher fertility rates , higher weaning weights , ect. When alfalfa is fed. I Can’t afford to feed cheap grass hay here. [/QUOTE]
