[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1345436, member: 498"] Realize the regional differences here. Most of the replies are coming from a long ways south of Northern Idaho. That said a diet of second cutting alfalfa most likely has way more protein than your cows need. I feed all the bent grass/bluegrass straw they will clean up and about 5 pounds first cutting alfalfa per day per head. They come through the winter in great shape. Right now you can buy the bent grass straw for about $80 a ton and first cutting alfalfa for under $150. That is a whole lot cheaper than top of the line 2nd cutting alfalfa. [/QUOTE]
