[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1784646, member: 17524"] Only hay and loose mineral. Not supplements and not much alfalfa hay. Some years no alfalfa hay. We give them plenty of it, enough there is some for them to clean up in the afternoon as our hay is dryland hay, mostly crested wheat. 9-10% protein. They have done fine on it for 25 years. We do make sure they have plenty. Our temperatures in winter could be very cold, plus wind is a factor. The cows had good protection but it was still cold. Grass hay keeps them warmer than feeding straight alfalfa. We had artesian wells so they always had access to warmer water. [/QUOTE]
