In Reply to: 3 pt hay unroller? posted by Erik Ks farmer on February 07, 2012 at 16:34:05:
Up here in western Manitoba, i've been using an unroller for several years now and will never go back to ring feeders or a processor. 50 cow/calf pairs and calves about 600lb were eating about 3 bales a day (2 hay, 1 silage), bales about 1200lbs each, but 2 year old hay. Sure they "waste" some, but our pastures are now carrying twice the number of cows than we started with on the same acres, all the pastures now have a good layer of thatch under the grass. I look at "waste" hay as fertilizer... Using an unroller i can put the manure where i need it most, and in my opinion a processor wastes too many leaves, they get blown away as dust, especially alfalfa. We feed on pasture until the cows start to calf (late March). Cold temperatures don't seem to bother the cattle unless they have no shelter (bush), although this winter so far has been a lot easier than most.
