[QUOTE="fnfarms1, post: 1765682, member: 24416"] So here in NE Ok they are baling most of the corn and soybeans, at least here in Ottawa county where the rains keep missing us and splitting and going around us. Their barely putting on any beans etc. I bought 10 corn hay bales that still had the ears on it, I’ve feed all of them over a 45 day period trying to ration out everything. I’ve got a chance to buy some soybean bales reasonable. Their soybeans with some wheat stubble in them. But I’ve never feed them. My plan is to unroll about a half bale 2x a week because it’s so high protein. I’ve got 35 cows hopefully bred back, vet check them in month or so after the wife has her breast cancer surgery. I weaned the calves 10days ago, trying to help take pressure off cows. Plan to hold my calves til thanksgiving hoping everyone else sells early and mine grow etc, it’s a gamble. Calves are getting feed so this only the cows on bean bales. Advice? I don’t want them blotting on me etc. I’m not feeding any protein or supplements, couple bales of hay a week and whatever they can find grass wise(it’s not much). Friend doing the baling says it’s roughly 20% protein, maybe little higher or lower on wheat stubble bales or if it’s a field that put on any beans. I’d love a grinder but that’s no where in the budget so let’s not advise that. [/QUOTE]
