[QUOTE="R. John Johnson, post: 482076, member: 7493"] We use Alfalfa hay as our high quality feed and native grasses as our bulk feed. There is a limited amount of higher quality native hay form the ridges. Right now in the cold weather alfalfa is 1/3 of the ration for the cows, the rest being rough wild hay. After they calve it will be as much alfalfa as I can use, the rest ridge hay. The replacement heifers are on a ration of 1/2 alfalfa and 1/2 ridge hay. After they calve it will be straight alfalfa. We calve starting the last week of February. All our pastures are bordering Lake Manitoba and the ice doesn't leave until the first week of May (usually). Those momas not only need to feed that calf, but they need extra feed to stay warm. John [/QUOTE]
