Your neighbor feeds 2 flakes of hay (1 flake = 5 lb; 89% DM), and 1 scoop pf grain (1 scoop = 1 lb; 91% DM). What is the weight of both the hay and grain together on a kg DM basis? ___ kg DM Numerical answer. Do not label. Round to tenths.

Your cows weigh 1300 lb and are offered a free choice brome round bale. You assume that each cow is consuming 3.0% of her BW/day on a DM basis. How much lb DM brome (90% DM) does one cow consume in a day? How many lb AF? [lbDM] lbs. DM [lbAF] lbs. AF Numerical answers. Do not label. Round to tenths. 

You are the owner of Forheifer Beef, a replacement heifer business. You have 35 head of black baldy, pregnant heifers that weigh 550 kg. You are feeding brome hay (0.70 Mcal/kgDM and 6.0% CPDM ;90%DM; $60/ton). Assume that at the most, the heifers will consume 3.0% of their body weight in hay. Their daily requirement is 13.53 Mcal and 643 g MP. Determine if the hay alone meets the heifers’ daily requirement of energy and protein. This diet will provide (at 3% DM intake) [de] mcal/d and [cp] g CP. (Numerical answer, do not label, round to tenths for energy and nearest whole number for protein.) Does this meet the heifers’ requirements? [yn] (Yes or no)
