Does anyone have experience feeding oat straw to cows? I have a line on some dry, wrapped oat straw that has a bit of alfalfa in it since the field it came off was underseeded. I am getting one load of it to see what it's like.

It is priced about 2/3 the price of hay and will make excellent bedding since it was through a rotary combine. I can get enough to supply half of my feed for next winter.

I, for one am a little concerned aboout the potential for a jump in the price of hay next year. I buy about half of my hay needs.

It could well be that the higher commodity prices are going to put the squeeze on the cow/calf guys in this area with the land values getting so high.
