Do cows need to mix hay to eat whole plant feed?

It depends on what season you decide whether to mix hay with whole plant feed for cattle. If the cows you feed are full of tender grass in the roadside mountains in spring, summer and autumn, then the cows definitely like to eat the whole plant, new and tender grass, and will not choose to eat your hay.

Spring has come, the earth is full of vitality and spring is full. Young grass grows everywhere on the roadside, hillside, field and river ditch in our countryside. At this time, the cows have just eaten hay and spent the cold winter, and the grass is gradually increasing in the fields in spring. At this time, if our rural families have cows, they will take them outside to eat grass at dawn and plow the fields during the day. It was also the master who killed the grass for them to eat. At this time, they do not eat straw. Even if you mix some dry straw into the whole grass, the cows won't eat it. They just dry the dry straw with their mouths and choose grass to eat, which will cause waste of dry straw.

Cows eat hay. In our countryside, this is the time to harvest late rice. If you feed the farmed cattle at home, you should not only dry the straw and store it yourself, but also go to a nearby neighbor's house to buy a few acres of dry straw and store it at home, and save it for the cows in winter, because it snows in winter and you can't go out and let the cows go. Even in 1 1 month,1February and February in winter, there are no young grasses in the mountains.

Therefore, personally, it depends on seasonality whether cows eat full-price feed or not. If you are in the third quarter of spring, summer and autumn, you'd better let cows eat fresh and tender grass, because grass is more nutritious than straw, and cows like to eat tender grass. The so-called "cattle are tender and grass is not fat" is the truth. In winter, weeds grow old and die.
