How we calculate the amount of hay needed to keep livestock during the winter

How important is calculating the amount of hay needed to keep livestock alive during the winter months? In this video I discuss how we figure how much hay is needed to feed cattle (and goats) during the winter, how its calculated and where to get a free excel spreadsheet to assist in helping you figure what you will need during the coming winter. The spreadsheet allows for you to input three simple factors and calculates the number of bales needed with a slight margin of safety if the winter is rougher than normal. In the video our grazing policies are discussed, the types of cattle we have and how we accumulate the hay we have each year. There are several ways of calculating the amount of hay needed but this is how we have been doing it for decades and its never let us down. I also discuss some current events going on around the farm. You can find the free spreadsheet at http://thepossumridgefarms.com/blog/h... to help calculate your hay needs. If you have any questions leave me a comment and I will get back to you.
