I am going to try and feed safflower.
About all I can do is auger it out on the ground and see if they will clean it up. I dont mind being wasteful with it, no one wants to buy the stuff and I have 8000 bushels in the bins.
Figure to try and get them up to 5 pounds.
Hopefully we can ease off on the hay a bit if they take to eating it well.
Safflower makes great grazing and hay.....so I hope they will eat the seeds!
Yep, about the only way you can tell if you fed in a spot the next day is that there is schit on the ground and packed snow. Maybe just a tinge of green.
Cant seem to get these cows filled up this winter. If they were closer I would be putting out straw.
We were feeding 40 pounds of hay, and they were not leaving any of it.
Back down to 30 pounds now since some of the snow is bared off and they can get to the straw and chaff piles again.
I bet they are loving that chopped hay Sam. Any of that wetter dense stuff tobacco cure?
