know exactly what you are saying angus 62. Especially the younger cows that really need it. They just follow you around waiting for that good hay.
No need to shred that good hay but sometimes it's better just to get it layed out enough to allow enough "bunk space" for equal shares.
Might as well put it out first and once it's gone they will move on.
Your sure right about the price FS. That nice fine alfalfa is worth a lot for the nutritional value and the convenience over feeding so called concentrates. You just can't have to much of it. Never seems to be enough o go around with replacement hiefers and young bulls to grow. Cows always seem to be left eating too much of that stuff Little Joe describes.
