[QUOTE="anewcomer, post: 1714259, member: 18748"] [SIZE=4]Don't think that I know much. But I can grow grass much better than I can produce hay.[/SIZE] Kenny, if your cows weigh 1200, that’s 42,000 lb. live weight. 10 calves at 300 is 3000, so 45,000 lb. live weight total. At 2 and 1/2% of live weight consumption, that’s 1125 lb. DM/herd/day. Times 70 days is 78,750 lb. DM removed from 20 acres. That’s right at 4000 lb. DM/A of useable stockpile. Excellent! You’re right, daily moves would help tremendously, but sometimes not possible. Let us know when you turn in on it. [/QUOTE]
