Re: Average hay consumption. A cow needs about 3 per cert of its body weight in roughage a day, a 1000 lb cow needs 30 lbs of hay if it has no other source of roughage.
However, some 800-pound cattle fed 4 pounds of corn or 3 pounds of corn and 1 pound of soybean meal per head daily on these same pastures from mid-June to early September gained 0.54 pounds more per head daily than those without supplements. An extra pound of gain took 7.4 pounds of supplement.
