I've found a great way to reduce calf loss by mud. Eliminate the round bale feeders and unroll the round bales every evening. Since I started doing this about 10 years ago I have probably saved 10 calves a year(100 calves in 10 years!). A plus to unrolling the hay in the evenings is 70-75% of the calves are born in the daytime. A good rule of thumb is to feed one bale(6X6) to 30 cows every day(150 cows=5 bales). I always thought it would take more hay, but it doesn't.
