How old of hay? If very old probably has cat piss/crap on it. Very good chance the ewes will get toxo plasmosis. Which one tablespoon of infected cat raccoon possum crap in 1 ton of grain can abort 100 ewes readily. Good alfalfa and a couple pounds of 13% grain mix will cover lactation. Most larger feed mills will have a bagged ration generally. Where are you located that helps with feed mill locations in my general area.

It simple for the winter (wife stays home and I travel for work) and decide on a better solution by next fall if we like it and keep moving forward. |
