Rex Beresford an extension specialist notes grain and roughage prices are cheap relative to hay. Corn at 32 to 35 cents a bushel sells 13 to 14 dollars a ton. oats at 17 cents fetch about 19.50 a ton. barley at 25 cents about 10.40 a ton. Grain and protein supplements cost less than timothy hay and alfalfa in many regions of Iowa. For cattle, use cheap roughage like oats straw corn stover or shredded fodder and add small amounts of corn cob meal or oilmeal to maintain nutrition, with mineral mix always available.
