A balanced diet of mainly hay with supplemental grain is better. A sedentary horse fed a good quality hay may not require grain but will benefit from the addition of free choice salt and mineral supplements.

Do potbelly pigs eat straw?

It is a myth that pigs do not eat hay or, as a well-known jingle claims, they they do not know how to eat hay. Pigs eat hay fairly regularly and digest it thoroughly. Pigs raised on farms are not "mostly fed grain and protein supplements" for two primary reasons: 1) pigs will pasture forage like horses and cows; and, 2) grain and protein supplements are expensive. Pigs do not digest hay like cows and deer. Neither do horses. However, pigs graze like cows and horses, eating hay, grass, alfalfa, clover, etc. On farms during winters, pigs are regularly fed hay fairly exclusively. Because hay has a relatively low caloric value, pigs' manure in the winters is fairly "clean" -- high in cellulose and low in "dirty" waste.

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.

Do you need to feed grain to lowlines if feed good hay?

No. Grain should only be fed if a) you are wanting to finish them on grain for beef, or b) they are loosing weight and condition on hay, or if the hay is not adequate nutrition enough for lactating cows and/or growing cattle. If you're doing none of the above or your cows and growers are doing just fine on hay alone, then don't bother wasting your money on grain.
