Hay was delivered to the ranch today so there will be feed for the cows when the snow is too deep for them to find grass to eat. So far this winter there has not been that much snow-but just in case. These bales weigh about 1600 pounds. A cow will eat 20-25 pounds of feed each day. Hay and grass contain the energy that a cow needs to stay warm in the winter. Fortunately the past few days have been mild so the cows are doing well and using the energy to get fat instead of needing it to stay warm.
