Supplementing poor hay?

[tom4018]

Would this be considered a protein supplement for poor quality hay?

At least the baler did not clog on this bale.

Looks like that hay is going to need something but I don't think adding a snake will help much. Is that broom sedge?

It has some over mature wheat in it, could not get a window of weather to cut it any earlier. Guess I got more straw than anything. Wheat was sowed with grass so most of it has some grass with it.

We have around 400 bales that are in the same boat. I know mature wheat hay may not have much protein, but they seem to really go through it when there's a little grain in it. Figure it will work just fine to give them a little fiber and slow motility for calves on green winter pasture.

Hopefully things will work out with crabgrass and soybean rolls.

We just rolled up 53 bales of oats and rye on 10 acres.

No snakes? ;-)

The guy who owns the place I was baling on was riding around on his ATV, rode around that bale and the snake was still flopping around said he was close enough it about hit him.

Didn't see any snakes in the bales. I think they hit the road when it was cut and raked.
