How is alfalfa cheaper then protein tubs???

Your talking about pinching pennies, but feeding any sort of hay is not the cheapest way. Grazing covers, stalks, left over pasture is the cheapest way. If you have to start a tractor your loseing money.

We start with protein mineral in early fall when grass is drying up and use them through winter when on stalks. IF we put them on higher quality cover crops we may take them off of it. But really make sure its out when calving. Then we switch to high phos and magnesium in the spring when going to grass with IGR.
