[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 365942, member: 6007"] Steve - suspect you are still in cold weather. I have increased palatability and certainly quality by doing something similar. It really kept the costs down when we were forced into trucking hay - or buying additional supplements - when in fact we could use the hay and straw we had right in the yard - and keeping the costs down is about the only way to make a profit these days. Only thing is the outfit we used actually injected the stuff into the bale. Essentially it looked like a bale hugger with needles about 2 inches in diametre. Squeeze the bale and inject the molasses and urea. We did the same with straw bales except - if memory serves me - we injected anhydrous. Cattle loved all of those bales and the analysis went way up. As for pour on - I cannot give you a square answer - but it will make the bales more attractive to the cattle. If it works, and I were you I might also buy my own applicator and do the job myself. And the extra value will help keep them going during your upcoming schitzen mud and rain weather. Regards, Bez> [/QUOTE]
