Efficiency Mindset and Feeding Practices in Beef Production

The mindset of some beef producers being focused on the number of cows they own as a status symbol rather than considering the carrying capacity of their land leads to inefficiencies and reduced profitability in the cattle industry. Unrolling hay for feeding can significantly reduce waste compared to using bail feeders, especially when providing hay for a day's consumption only, as it prevents cows from fouling the excess hay. This practice of matching the feed amount to what cows will actually consume leads to higher efficiency and less waste, with estimates showing waste from unrolled hay to be under 5% when managed effectively.
