Whether putting food in the refrigerator, the freezer, or the cupboard, you have plenty of opportunities to prevent foodborne illnesses. One of the basics of food safety is cooking food to its proper temperature.
I personaly always figured around 25lbs of hay per day for a average size cow when i was putting up hay. Alot of that of course they can get if pasture is available/accessable. Multiply that by your number of cows x average days you actually have to feed.
A good quality pasture for grazing is the basic dietary requirement of cattle. The recommended pasture size per cow is 10 acres, without which, the diet should be supplemented with hay. The recommended quantity of hay is an average of 2% of the animalâs body weight per day (or 2 lbs. of hay per 100 lbs. of body weight).
