Christopher,

I have small cow/calf operation in Middle Tennessee (43 head including a bull, 5 heifers, and a few calves). I feed only small squares to them. I take the bales to different parts of the farm each day and spread the bales on the ground. This has been such a harsh, long winter the grass hasn't even started to come back yet. I normally am scaling back on the hay that I feed by now, but I can't this year.

My horses have a feeder with hay rack on top that I use to feed them.

I'm only 65 years old right now, so I expect to keep making and feeding small squares for a few more years. Eventually, I think I'll either have to give up on the cows or go to round bales.
