[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 339435, member: 1604"] You can but you have no control over the amount of hay eaten by feeding free choice, thus no way of accurately balancing the ration. Feedlots will usually start cattle on a ration with a high hay content then gradually convert the ration to a higher concentrated mixture for higher gain. The economics of both ways could be argued according to the price and quality of your hay. [/QUOTE]
