About fifteen years ago NRCS put in a big concrete feeding pad fo us to feed hay on and get out of the mud. I fed in hay rings for several years on it, and have tried unrolling hay for them in the pasture. But it seems to leave bare spots, and when I went to MIG grazing we cut them out of all but one pasture for the worst part of the winter. The past five or so years, we've been feeding hay just behind the c-bunks in the barn. The herd gets silage in the bunks, and hay is dropped in over the bunks. What they don't eat they use for bedding, and about once a month what is left is pushed into a storage pit where it composts for the rest of the winter and is spread in the spring on corn ground. They don't really waste too much of it, and the calves seem to love the warm bedding. Usage is only about 20# per day per head, plus silage. And the healthy dose of manure goes back into next years corn. Plus the cows stay pretty clean in comparison to many I've seen go through the sale ring. It pays to get out of the mud.
