Ya I fed some hay to our calves to see if these cold weather snaps will pass. It will pop if they do.

Heard another one could be coming in 10 days or so after this one the next couple days. If that keeps up if will be rough.

Just see how it will pay out to hay and cube yearlings. And your right it looks like more cold coming

Yours looks a lot nicer than mine. I started again two days ago. Got posts in the ground for 2 more moved. I suspect ground will be too hard again for posts come tomorrow.

Fed any hay yet, Kenny?

Yes i have fed some hay. I have been working 12 hours a night so its easier in this cold weather than putting in posts in the frozen ground.
Also i need to empty out some hay to have room for next years hay.

@kenny thomas Question for you. Neighbor is letting me graze her fescue hay field that never got cut last spring. It was fertilized well. I planned on turning 16 pairs (Sept/Oct calves) in on it next weekend. What do I need to supplement with if anything?

Kenny, in September, I clipped, nitrated and stockpiled 12 acres of Ky-31 fescue that I planted one year ago. In late November, it tested 18.8% CP and 70.5 TDN. RFD was 189. That's annual ryegrass territory in this country. I don't get the DM production you do, we had an extremely dry fall, even for us. But this 12 acres will carry 25 heavy bred cows and a bull for 30 days in February and they will gain weight. We don't get the snow you do that probably degrades the forage to some degree, but we aren't able to grow the DM you do, either. This is a really good program for folks in the fescue belt. Lots of folks are missing the boat here.

If you haven't already turned them in on this 12 acres and have a way of doing it try strip grazing it. Give them what they will eatnin a day or 2 instead of the full field. You might find it extends the 30 days to 45 days or more.
With 12 acres i can winter 25 cows at least until March.
 
Kenny, 100% right. We move daily. As I mentioned earlier, we don’t stockpile as much in fall as you do, due to weather. Daily moves, based on 3000 lbs DM/acre will carry a 1000 lb dry cow for 90 days on one acre. That is our winter feed program for December, January and February. Our ryegrass is ready March 1. We start calving then. We use very little fescue in March, April and May. Our program, based on weather, is different from yours. But the stockpiling part is very similar. Thanks for your input.

Heck. Your doing a better job than i am. Notice in the pictures mine is very hilly. Some pretty steep. Im on a cane and its hard for me to fence and move them like i should. I should be moving them every day also.

Don't you "call" your cattle? being on a cane it would be hard to rotate them if you have to herd them from behind.
