[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1545903, member: 14585"] Good idea, but It works best to grind and mix with good hay, rather than feeding along side. Fed along side, boss cows will eat the good hay or feed and timid or smaller cows will get stuck eating only straw. I know a guy who rotates every few days between feeding a bale of cornstalks and feeding a bale of good hay. Not as good as grinding and mixing, but helps with the problem of dominant cows hogging all the good stuff. His rotation is 1 bale cornstalks, followed by 2 bales of good hay and repeat, so 1/3 of his roughage ration is stalks. [/QUOTE]
