Hay and forage production in Iowa and southern Missouri was down through much of the growing season, so cow-calf producers will have to find an alternative feed to stuff to partially replace hay. In the Ozarks, a bale of grass hay sells for $50 to $60 in some areas. Forage testing is essential as fescue is toxic, while hay is half as toxic as the pasture, according to an Extension forage specialist with the University of Missouri.
