  • In the winter we feed anything from large round bales to small squares, from alfalfa to baleage (fermented hay). We source most of our hay from neighbors/friends or scout it out on Craig’s List 🌱 

Although grain would up production, we feel that sticking to a natural diet of grasses is best for our herd & milk quality 🌱 

Keeping dairy cows through winter is also a balance of feeding the right kinds of hay! To maintain production, we feed a lot of first cutting hay & never force cows to “finish” a bale 🌱
