[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1437557, member: 20599"] I have zero mechanical skills. As in, anything I look at breaks. Spouse is mechanical but works a 12hr/day job off-farm. (I have an off-farm job too but not as many hrs). In answer to M-5's question, we feed about a round bale (or equivalent squares) a day. Sometimes in the shoulder season when they still have a bit of grass we can stretch it to every other day. But winters are long here; earliest we can turn them out is late May, and it's been early June some years. Some years we have snow in October (at least a dusting) and generally by November they're transitioning to hay. We got an inquiry from a "solar farm" company a year ago to lease some of our big, top-side hay fields. We laughed and pitched it. Now we found out that one of our farmer-neighbors is considering it. Maybe he's the smart one... [/QUOTE]
