Hay costs and substitutes for dairy rations
Jim Frier and Harold Van Horn advise buyers to beware of high hay prices. A mixed dairy ration can cost about $50 per ton, with 2 pounds of average hay replacing 1 pound of corn. If hay exceeds $25 per ton, substitute grain. Good quality hay should not exceed $33 per ton as 10 pounds can replace 1 pound of grain. Grain can replace most hay and silage, but 10 to 15 pounds of hay remain needed for proper butterfat.
