Your cow will eat grain but not hay it is five to six months old?

Maybe your calf is eating the hay behind your back. What you can do to make him eat hay is to try mixing the grain with the hay, like take an armful of hay, pour some grain on top and mix just a little bit of it, but leave like 60% of the grain ontop of the pile of hay. The other thing that could be the reason he won't eat hay is he's got grass to eat at, and is eating that instead of that dry, tasteless hay.
