With today’s grazing management systems, the cost of making hay far exceeds its value to grazing businesses. Studies have shown that winter feed costs are the largest single factor limiting the profitability for most livestock operations. In virtually every area of the USA, year-around grazing - without hay - is possible. Yet many graziers are still making hay.

Have you ever taken the time to figure out how much making hay costs you?

Are you still making hay because you’ve always done so and can’t imagine raising livestock without it?

Wouldn’t you rather spend your time monitoring pastures and moving livestock instead of making hay?
