Should have added in the other post I made that the savings in hay isn't all due to waste.

In my area if we use hay rings cows will eat far more than what they need to stay in good condition. We don't need to feed the poundage per head as say folks in Iowa. So what I do is weigh a couple of bales and get an idea of weight per roll for that crop of hay and then feed poundage to what the cows need weather wise in this area. Colder= feed more.

I've seen folks post in northern areas about feeding 45-50 pounds of hay per head per day. We can get by on far less than that by unrolling. Feeding in hay rings gives little control. So we save more hay by feeding what's needed than what the cow will eat.
