My thinking has always been in my brain around a buck a day. I dont feed much ground feed, unless finishing out a steer in the last month or need to for some other reason. Give em all the mixed hay and alfalfa they want in the winter, pasture/hay the rest of the year.

BTW I dont buy hay, so I kinda figure off of what the hay I sell goes for. If you"re buying hay and supplimenting with feed or silage, I"d think $1.50 would be pretty good. Especially this long winter
