Depends on the hay, percent protein and TDN, whether the cows are bred or open. In general, a 1200 lb. non-lactating, bred cow needs 2 pounds of protein per day plus enough total digestible nutrients to maintain her weight, body heat in cold weather and amply grow the calf she is carrying. An example would be 25 lbs. of 8% protein grass hay or 15 lbs. of 14% alfalfa or any combination of the two that adds up to 2 pounds of net protein plus free choice forage of lesser quality. Most people, myself included, like to make sure they get their protein and have something in front of them all the time. I feed my good hay in the barn to the cows requirements and keep the rings in the pasture full of the cheap hay I roll on shares. There is usally a copy of Morrisons ''feeds and feeding'' on e-bay for less than 10 bucks. Revisions 21 and up were updated in the 50s and early 60s, plenty of useful information on feeding and care of all classes of livestock. This was the text book of choice for many years in Agriculture colleges all over the country.
