KY | Thinking about putting a small cow/calf confinement barn in in the next year or two depending on some life and job factors. Here, when the grass goes away, mine have all the hay they can eat until spring, a protein tubs and mineral available, and they get about 5 lbs of ground feed/hd every 3rd or 4th day to keep them coming to me when I need to get them up. If they were confined, will that program still work? I don't really want to invest in a tmr early on, but if you keep hay available in a barn how do you do it without feeding it in the bunks every day? Don't care if you do it in a monoslope, hoop barn or traditional barn, just looking for ideas of things people do that I may not have thought of or seen. I got an information binder from Summitt today but haven't had time to sift through it, i would most likely go a much less expensive route than them, but they have good information I'm told. | |
