The hay i bought last year is really poor quality- very straw-like and coarse. What can I add to their diets to increase the nutritional value and keep them eating this stuff? I've been supplementing with some alfalfa and that seemed to work out ok, but going to be running out of it before too long. Is there anything that will work better for less money?
I actually bought a protein supplement tub, but got it home yesterday I read the ingredients and don't think I want to be feeding that stuff to my cows( especially one that I'll be eating! )
I'm feeding a young heifer, steer and pregnant heifer. They all look pretty good on what we have been feeding, but would like to get them to eat up all the poor hay that's in the barn.
Thanks,
Susie
