[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 816682, member: 7509"] No, I don't often put hay out on the ground like that - just when the weather is extremely bad. As you can see they are all wet and the weather in the photo is worse than it looks - 27 degrees and a freezing rain on everything. Then got colder and turned to more snow. They were so wet that I wanted them to load up on TDN's for energy and to keep warm. The hay also gives them a place to lie down. This is just part of a bale that was in a cradle feeder. Weather going back down to near 10 degrees F toward the weekend. I usually feed hay to the cow/heifer group from two cradle feeders and one standard ring feeder. Some of them like the cradles, some like to eat from the ring. They ALL like it when its on the ground. Just a special bad weather treat. On the ground and spread out a bit also gives the more timid ones a chance to load up on hay in the bad weather. In general I would not feed on the ground unless you have enough time and area to unroll just what your herd needs in one day. Otherwise I would use some sort of hay feeder. jmho. Jim [/QUOTE]
