[QUOTE="hayrack, post: 722444, member: 7658"] With that amount of cattle and since you do grain them some I would feed small square bales if you can buy them reasonable. You would feed some everyday but there would not be any waste and you could feed them what they needed and not all they wanted. I feed rounds but have squares too so I can stretch the round hay. I have a group of 20 that will eat a round every two days and they get some gin trash and DG every day too. They are getting about 3 pounds per head per day of this. I let the round run out in the evening and I will feed about 5 square bales at that time. In the night they clean up all of the round and I gain 12 hours per round bale by feeding some squares. I also have the place split up in paddocks. I dont let them run in all of them through the winter and when I feed the squares I let them in a new paddock. They like that too and you use some physcology on them. They are like kids. This keeps them cleaning up the hay well and if you get cows to doing that they will not be nearly as wasteful. By gaining a half day every roll it adds up over the winter. [/QUOTE]
