Was reading one of the post where You and another Gent were bickering about MM's and JD's You mentioned You grew up in W,va and I was just curious what part of W,va You came from? I come from up on top Hash Ridge about 45 miles east of ashland, KY, and I'm still here. You spoke of pulling grass and carrying it to the livestock in a bucket,sure brought back memories in My mind of My childhood.I would hate to think of the arm loads of brush I carried in for the livestock, and the small scrub trees We cut down for them when the summers were extremely dry, after about a month, them cows sure would come running when they heard that saw.

Wood County, a little town called Rockport. G-man seems to dis-believe anything I say. If we had let the livestock in the yard to eat the grass, it would have been gone in a week. We also had a deal with Purity bread to get there old bread that we fed them. There were 8 kids, so pulling enough grass for a few hogs and cattle before school was no problem. We put it in what Dad called "Pickle Buckets" I thought all 5 gallon buckets were pickle buckets because the Amish sold pickles in them. It was a few years later before I learned different. You being from WVa, you would understand what some folks still live like. We didn't have running water throughout the 70's and just had the problem of keeping the chickens from falling in the well that Dad and my oldest brother dug by hand. Life was simple and I really enjoyed it. I always say I was born with nothing and still have half of it left!! I think if more people had grown up that way, they would appreciate what they have.

This is too funny. You're aware that a cow will eat upwards of 50 lbs per day, right??? How much grass were you getting in a bucket? IF you were doing this, you were starving the cattle, as there's a REASON they would have at all the grass in a week. This gets funnier and funnier...

G-man I could give a rats a$$ about what you think. I know what I did, and did it for a long time. You don't know jack about the way it is with some folks. If you want to become a man I will give you a piece of advice. Find a woman (if one will have you), start a family so you will have someone to support besides yourself. Then you will be more qualified to say what it takes to get by sometimes. If you don't believe me, ask any married man on the board. You haven't experienced nothing till you have had others depending on you for there needs. I wouldn't trade that for the rarest tractor out there!

50 lbs per day?i don't know where you came up with that figure,but we alway split a 60 lbs bale between 5 cows 2X a day.
that would be 30 lbs per day plus you have to add the fact that they were dairy cows and had to produce milk off of it besides keeping up their weight.
they also got an average of 5 lbs of grain 2X a day with mierals and salt added to it,salt makes them drink more so they have more liquid to produce milk.
in a feed lot they will use 50 lbs a day,but they are not eating all of it a good share of it gets wasted.

Depends a lot on the individual animals, the climate and what breed they are. Dairy cows will consume well over 50 lbs of dry-matter per day when they're lactating. Get cows calving in the cold months, and 100 head of cows will eat 3 2000-lb big-rounds in 24 hours time pretty darn easy. That's more than 50 lbs. per cow.

and you missed the point,you can not go by 2000 lbs bales as they are in an open area so they will waste a bunch and you do not have that factored in.
in a tie stall they will need less than 50 lbs per cow per day and that was with a 100 lbs average.
heck a horse that gets water and hay need one big pitch fork full a day and they do just fine,been around them since i was 10 years old too and they get a sight bigger than a cow.

Go out in a pasture where a big round bale has been rolled out in the dead of winter 24 hours before and see how much hay is left on the ground. Not very much.
