Managing Hay Cost
This Winter
Despite fair hay production
early in the summer, the return
of drought-like conditions has
forced hay prices to near record
levels from last year. In many
parts of the country hay prices
have surpassed previous
records. According to OSU
Extension Livestock Marketing
Specialist Darrell Peel, total
U.S. 2012 hay production is
17.3% smaller than the 2006-
2010 average and this is the
lowest production year since
1976. The Livestock Marketing
Information Center is predicting
the average hay price for the
2012-2013 season to be a record
$195.00/ton. That is $22.00
more than last year’s price and
60% more than the average
$122.00/ton average from 2006
to 2010.
To say the least, feeding
cattle through the winter is
going to be an expensive
endeavor. David Lalman, OSU
Extension cattle specialist has
some good tips to help conserve
your hay supplies. According to
Lalman winter hay needs can be
reduced by almost a third by
using two of these three strate-
gies: feed an ionophore, limit-
feed hay and reduce hay waste.
Leed an ionophore. In an
OSU study, cows receiving
common prairie hay and 2
lbs ./day of supplement (30%
crude protein) with 200 mg/day
of Rumensin® - the only
ionophore labeled for use in
breeding cows - gained 30 lbs.,
or about a half of one body con-
dition score (BCS) over 58
days. The cost of feeding the
ionophore was 20/day. In previ-
ous research, Lalman says
Rumensin in cow rations
reduced feed intake by about
10% without affecting perform-
ance. But be careful as
Rumensin is very toxic to hors-

Limit feed hay. Cows need
to be in a minimum BCS of 4-5
to limit feed hay. This limit-
feeding strategy, which is often
used in growing cattle,
improves feed efficiency,
increases digestibility and
decreases waste. Based on pre-
vious research, Lalman says
giving cows access to hay for
six hours/day - fencing off hay
feeders as an example - rather
than unlimited access, reduces
intake by 20%. If access can’t
be restricted, Lalman suggests
estimating the amount of hay
cows require daily and then
reducing it by 20%. Across 85-
90 days, Lalman says research
indicates that cows limit-fed
hay will lose 20-40 lbs., or
about half of one BCS. If it’s a
viable option, though, Lalman
emphasizes that utilizing the
strategy can reduce hay needs
by 20%.
Reduce hay waste. Any
type of hay feeder is more effi-
cient than using none at all,
Lalman says, but the specific
type of feeder used makes a
huge difference in waste. Lor
instance, an open-bottom bale
ring - no sheeting around the
bottom - means about 21% of
the hay put into it is wasted,
according to OSU research.
"Losing 21% of prairie hay that
costs more than $ 150/ton gets
expensive," Lalman says.
Compare that to a modified-
cone feeder. Waste associated
with this design is about 5%.
Just adding sheeting to the bot-
tom of an open-bottom bale ring
reduces waste from 21% to
about 13%, Lalman says.
Lalman says that by using two
of these three strategies, you can
save 30% of your hay cost.

DeLeon team’s momentum.
Lirst, a kickoff recovery
by Auston Sadberry that would
have returned the football to
DeLeon’s possession was
negated by a holding penalty
upfield.
Then, on the re-kick, a
Hamilton return man waved his
hand in the air signalling what
appeared to be a fair catch, but
when the DeLeon kick cover-
age team slowed at the end of
what appeared to be a dead
play, the Bulldog runner ram-
bled downfield for 30 yards,
finally going down on the
DeLeon 37 yard line.
Despite a choms of boos
and angry shouts from the
DeLeon side, the officials
allowed the play to stand.
It wasn’t long before the
Bulldogs found the endzone
again, running it in from the
five-yard line after a short
drive.
Hamilton’s point after try
was unsuccessful, but they led
the Bearcats 13-6 with 4:11 left
in the second quarter.
On their next offensive
series, Sadberry set the
Bearcats up with nice field
position, returning the kickoff
out to the 40-yard-line. Bearcat
Quarterback Joshua Brownlee,
on a keeper around the left end,
then rambled 53 yards to the
seven-yard-line.
Unfortunately for the
Bearcats, the rain finally began
to take its toll in the final min-
utes of the first half, when the
wet football slipped out the
Bearcats’ possession into the
waiting arms of a Bulldog
defender.
Hamilton took just two
plays to mn the ball nearly the
length of the field to the
DeLeon 20 yard line, scoring
on a fourth down pass play
with 11 seconds left in the half.
Again, the Bulldogs were

unsuccessful with their point
after attempt, but led the
Bearcats 19-6.
In the second half, a
strong defensive showing by
DeLeon, capped by a five yard
tackle for loss from Eric
Velasquez, forced a Hamilton
punt, which was returned by
Bearcat Robert Smith for a
touchdown. Chavez added the
extra point to narrow the
Hamilton lead 19-13 with 7:20
left to play in the third quarter.
Hamilton responded less
than two minutes later with
another touchdown mn, but
Robert Smith kept them out of
the endzone for the two-point
conversion.
Hamilton led 25-13, with
5:48 left in the third.
DeLeon fumbled on the
next offensive series at the 41-
yard-line, and Hamilton took
advantage, scoring from 41
yards out with 4:35 left in the
third.
The Bulldogs added the
two-point conversion, increas-
ing their lead 33-13.
Bearcats Chris DeLaTorre
and Blake Hooker played
excellent defense during the
ensuing several series, but the
Bearcat offense could not gen-
erate much momentum as the
game wore on.
Bearcat Oscar Chavez
provided a short momentum
boost when he recovered a
Bulldog fumble on the one yard
line in the fourth quarter, but
the Bearcats returned the favor,
fumbling themselves soon after
to set up Hamilton’s final score
of the night with 7:57 left in the
game.
The Bearcats continued a
rainy struggle for the remainder
of the game, but were ham-
pered by weather and a good
Bulldog team, falling short by a
final score of 39-13.
