[QUOTE="farmgardngirl, post: 736424, member: 13596"] I've only got 4 calves, in the 4-500# range. I feed about a 60# bale of hay per day, plus free cornscreenings. The hay costs is $2.25 per bale, so that cost is about 55 cents per calf a day. Have been feeding less screenings than they could have I'm sure, just to be safe from bloat, etc. The screenings are getting moldy on the outside, so been digging out just the good stuff, and leaving the rest for the birds. How can screenings be dried, and kept dry? The calves love them, and the price is definately right, but so much is going to waste. In trying to figure the actual expense per calf, I'm wondering how much it's costing us to run the watertank heaters for 6 months of the year. [/QUOTE]
