Hay Quality Explain This One

samedi 30 septembre 2017

I sold some rained on 2nd cutting alfalfa to a customer that was baled dry with no dew.  Also sold him some really nice 4th cutting that was baled with a dew and had nice leaf retention.  This is all large square 3x4 bales.  Well his cows got out the other day and got into the hay.  Guess which bale they ate?  Conventional thinking would be the 4th with the leaf retention.  Nope they ate the dry 2nd cutting and didnt touch the 4th.  Well so much for trying to get him to pay more money for leaf retention.  The cows preferred the junk feeder hay.  None of the dairys or feedlots here will pay extra for alfalfa baled with leaf retention.  They must have already figured this one out.
