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.
In calculating the winter feed costs, Hoppe figured a 1400-pound cow will either eat or waste 40 pounds of feed daily. Using a hay price of $65 per ton and figuring 180 days on feed with the winter ration that translates into a feed charge of $1.40 per day or $252 for six months.sing Farm Business Management records from Region 2, Hoppe estimated using 1.2 acres per month for each cow/calf pair for a total of 6 months. Using a seasonal pasture rental fee of $30 per acre, the total pasture cost would come to $216 per year.
