[QUOTE="thistlewick, post: 1849347, member: 43644"] Thank you Mark! This is nearly the exact same advice I just received from a young lady running an Ag program at NC State who I reached out via email - she had not got back to me initially and this is why I posted the question(s) here but she did just yesterday and said very much this same thing! We do indeed have tall Fescue. Was just out mowing down the weeds yesterday (we don't have our cow yet, still in the planning stages but I am getting closer than ever to getting serious and ready to start (still need to find out if our local livestock auction even sells or bothers with dairy cows!)) and was wondering this exact thing, what level do I put my bushhog on to get it to prime regrowth height?! haha! My pastures are in full sun - and only get some shade in the late afternoon in one section of each. So I suppose we need one - we can get one we can move I suppose to save some $$ When I first bought this land, my neighbor (who wanted to buy the land but I won the bid, eeeek lol) used to come by and visit -- he is a cattle rancher and we talked a little about my plans for rebreeding, his advice was to hire someone to inseminate her every year because in his words "you do NOT want to worry yourself about a bull" LOL I figured when I bought the cow, I'd get her with a calf already or pregnant and then worry about that later when the time came. Thank you *everyone* for all the lovely replies!! [/QUOTE]
