Feeding during the winter is one of the most significant expenses for a livestock producer. Supplements have always been a little pricey, especially with low crop production. With the intense drought we have experienced across most of the country, hay has also become expensive, if you can find any.
However, with careful planning, grazing during this time is not only possible but can also be cost-effective. Strategies like stockpiling forages for winter use can help you manage your costs.
