[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16200"] If you don;t have the luxury of time to get an analysis, if the price is right go ahead and try it out. As long as it isn't moldy or rotten. You may, make that probably, will need to feed grain or some other supplement along with it. We have fed wheat hay to 3rd stage cows and recent calvers with no ill affects. Had a sample done and it turned out to be aaround 7% protien but very high TDN. Never have figured that out. We fed about 2 lbs of 13% grain per head. Calves were normal sized, cows and heifers milked normally, no difficulties in any way. The cows are just now getting on grass but they had already started to cycle even while on the wheat hay and grain ration. dun > Howdy all, whats the skinny on > Wheat hay - good, bad, ok if the > price is right.
