If hitting the clutch seemed to help it could be the clutch neutral safety switch

With rotational grazing you want to be able to keep them in a paddock for several days to a day or 2. To give you an idea on stocking rate, I run 25 mature cows on 2 AC paddocks and rotate every other day. A good rule of thumb for grass growth is 250lbs per inch per acre of dry matter. That's...

They need to eat 2% of body weight a day in feed. If you're concerned about hay nutrition, suplement with good feed. 5lbs of corn will replace 9lbs of hay. so if your trying to grow 700 to 800 lbs heifers before breeding then they need to eat about 15lbs per day. I like soybean meal because its...

Thank yal for the advice. I believe I will go threw with grazing them in the woods next summer only to give pastures a rest for a short time.

There's not whole lot of grass besides sum short fine leaf grass. But there's lots of shrubs and foliage on saplings that they seem to like. I do plan in the near future to clear out the bottom section of the woods and I estimate that would be enough space for 5ac or so for grass.

Thanks for all the replies. I have 30 head of angus rite now but i want to work my way to 40 then maybe 50 sum day. I don't have the machinary to clear land with rite now. What I'm mainly looking at is using those woods for a week or two at a time to give my pastures a rest before I rotate them...

I have about 15 to 20ac of mostly fescue pasture. But I have about 100ac of good mature forest that I would like to look into grazing them on. It's mostly hilly terrain with a few bottoms. I would like advice on how Yal would stock it, how the cattle would do on it and ect. It will be used in my...

You should go ahead and clip your fescue. By this time of year and as tall as you say it is it is Likly to stemmy to be palatable and its lost most of it nutrient value. If you clip it between 5 to 6in youl leave plenty of leaf area where it can collect sun and store nutrients in its roots. If...

Well I def don't want to throw my money away and I can't devote any 1 field to a single grass. So would Bermuda be my best wsg option in my fescue pastures or would another work better. I just need a good mix to help get my herd threw the summer forage slump, and hopefully get a nice summer...

I really don't have any other option but to plant them into my fescue pastures and hay fields. I don't have enough fields to have WSG in 1 and CSG in the other. Is there anything I can do to help them cohabitate with each other, such as plant them directly after first cutting of fescue in may so...

I am looking into planting sum native warm season grasses into my pastures and hay fields that are dominated by my cool season grasses like fescue. My goal is for a longer grazing season and an extra cutting in the summer. I would like to get other producers inputs on planting and growing them...

Alrite, thanks yal
