Yes, but it depends on the quality of the hay and the type of cattle you are feeding. If you are feeding dry brood cows medium-quality hay is good enough to feed them. Younger stock like weaner calves and heifers need a bit higher quality hay and maybe supplementation if they need it. Lactating cows need higher quality hay and feed to keep up with the demands of their calf.
