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.
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.
A general rule is 30-40 pounds of hay per day, per cow. (And again, that number can vary greatly). In our area (depending on the year) hay goes for around $150-$200 per ton (2000 pounds).t depends on the cow and location, but dairy cows generally sell for $900-$3000 in our part of the country. The proven family cows cost more, while a first-calf heifer will cost less.
