[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1660110, member: 498"] If all the steers and heifers weigh 850 and your bull does weigh 2,000 that is 7,100 pounds. With dry matter fed at 3% of their body weight they should eat about 213 pounds of dry matter a day. Ball park the hay is 90% dry matter that would be 237 pounds of hay a day that they are eating. Are they cleaning up a 500 pound bale a day? How much waste is there? A 500 pound bale every other day is more in line with what they should be eating. Good luck and welcome to CT. [/QUOTE]
