[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16065"] We fed wheat hay exclusively the past 3 months. If it doesn;t have a high nitrate level there isn;t anything wrong with it. The protein will be a little low, but for some reason it seems like the TDN is pretty high. We've stuck a 14% saupplement tub out for the girls, and they've eaten some but not much. They have all calved and have enough milk, the yearlings didn't grow as well as we would have liked, but that will be taken care of by compensatory gain (we hope) now that that they are going out to top quality pasture. You will have a nice crop of volunteer wheat pop up, nothing wrong with it, as a mtter of fact it may supply you with some unexected late fall and very early spring feed before it goes to seed next year if it is winter wheat. dun > We ran out of hay and hay is > scarce at any price around here.
