[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1842370, member: 38220"] We try to graze as much as possible prior to calving. We feed hay during bad weather spells and feed cake the rest of the time. On 63 head, I think we have fed 12 round bales (1250# bales) so far with only 2 and a half weeks of >6" snow cover. This year went to feeding 3# cake every other day if ground is bare enough. They have eaten a good part of the winter pasture and will move to the calving pastures on March 1. We feed daily once we start calving. Start with 10# alfalfa per day and ramp up to 30# by April as calving pastures run out of grass. Alternate days between alfalfa and grass hay. Too much alfalfa we seem to get more scours. [/QUOTE]
