[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 604718, member: 6198"] I have two questions: 1. do you have poor hay? 2. do you not have enough hay? We live in a climate that is very cold. The cattle do well on grass hay or alfalfa grass hay or alfalfa hay. If the protien level is there that is all you should need. all this other stuff contributes to a higher cost to feed the cows. At the cow prices we have now, best to cut where needed and save the bucks. I'm with MssCamp on this one...get your hay tested and see what you need to do the job you need it to do. By the way, as a consumer for buying bulls, pushing them hard to grow faster than what they need to is hard on the bulls and they do not last as long, getting joint and leg problems. Not to mention, they loose a pile of weight on pasture any how. If you want to cheapen the feed, toss out a bale of wild or slough hay for them. [/QUOTE]
