Your estimateReady when you are.

Enter positive values, a non-negative waste allowance and whole numbers for animals and days.

This assumes a constant daily intake. Actual needs and waste vary with weather, feed quality and storage.

How the estimate works

We multiply daily intake by the number of animals and days, then add your waste allowance. Divide the resulting weight by the bale or bag weight and round up to plan whole bales or bags.
