SE Nebraska, Near Misery and Cans Ass! | Abomb - 11/27/2018 18:29 I can’t think of any guys in my neighborhood that don’t feed it on the ground other than if they are in a yard. Whether it’s unrolling a bale or processing it. Feeding on the ground would result in a lot more loss than using a round bale feeder and not processing, but I guess that is a "here" thing. Inverted tires are cheap. Process the hay run a grain mix of your choice on it as you "fill" the tires and you have a poor mans TMR. Poor quality alfalfa hay is cheaper than grass here and at 16-18% protein a few pounds of it with a couple pounds of corn/mineral mix will meet a cows needs. If you can run the Alfy in first and top it with corn stalks you can feed cheaper. requires that you be able to keep the cows away until feeding is complete or feed very fast! |
Do bale processors save hay
