You can't make any animal eat hay, or any food for that matter. But when they're hungry, they will eat. Some animals also don't like the cutting of hay that you get. If it's 1st or 2nd cutting that could be why. They think it's kinda dry and plain. Animals have a sense of taste also!

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.

How do you raise a steer for self consumption?
It isn't to hard. First decide if you want a holstein or a beef like an angus, hereford, simmetal, etc. Make sure you have a shed and a place to go outside. They dont have to go outside but, Me personally think theydo better when they can have fresh air. If you would have an outside pen make sure it is a good fence because cattle are strong, (I know from expirence). Make sure they have bedding. Bedding is usually corn stalks or straw. You feed it corn and protein, or silage. If it is a holstein steer feed it no hay at all they will get a hay belly and wont do good. If it is a beef steer feed it a little hay and grain. When it reaches anywhere from 1200-1400 lbs butcher the steer.Their is a lot of meat in a steer so you can sell half a beef and still have enough for you and your family. I hope this helps some people out. Thanks!
