With a farm I rented I picked up 22 acres of 2nd year pure alfalfa for the same rent as the tillable. I have beef cows, and ussually feed out my calves. First question is, alot of "beef" people tell me the alfalfa is no good for them, because they get loose. They will milk to much and I will get mastitis and scours in the calves. I know right now I am feeding pure alfala to my weaned 500-800# weaned calves and thayy are gaining and not loose. This will be the only hay ground I have. Am I better off selling the alfalfa and buying lower quality hay or should I just feed it. I will have nice pasture next year, so my requirements will be from fall pull from pasture until late spring-early summer let out to pasture. Also, Two options I have for the baling 4x5 rounds or 3'x3'x8' big squares. Friend of mine says I can use the big sqaure baler if I run it for him on custom jobs when he is unavailable( oimited hours of course). Which is better for the hay quality? I sure do like cutting 4 big strings vs the dozens around the 4x's
