[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 712124, member: 1346"] That seems high for hay, to me. In this area there's lot of fescue hay, round bales 5x6 for $20 to $30. There's a bunch of people that still have last years hay in the barn. However, you may be paying a fair price in your area. If you buy 1 or 2 bales a week instead of getting a load of 30 to 35 round bales then you're going to pay more. You can do a google search on zinc and foot rot/lameness and there's goo gobs of reading. Also research is showing a boron deficiency can cause arthritis. Check your cow minerals to make sure you have adequate zinc and you may need to add a little boron too. That may help to get you through to spring, but that still doesn't resolve what your hay is costing you and would it be more feasible to sell now or wait until spring. [/QUOTE]
