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.
Now, that figure might be alittle low if I consider the tank heaters running(I dont have any self waterers. yet..) It really goes to crap when I try and figure in the wifes hay burners, so I just like to live happily thinking its about a buck a day..
I only run polled cattle, angus/angus cross. I"ve always heard anything with holstein mixed in doesn"t do well or finish well on primarily pasture/hay. So, Ive never tried it.
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

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
