    Fertilizing in progress.

    I preset the bales out, and then I roll them out with my UTV. Right now I have 12 days of feed out where I do not need to start a tractor. I built some brackets and put wheels on the front of my UTV and unroll the bales like that. works great and cuts feeding time by almost 2 hours.

    Opinions on the South Poll Breed.

    i usually stay away from anything I have to pay a premium for when I buy, then get the lowest price at the market when I sell. I try to do the opposite of that. but i'm in this business to make money.. $$$$

    i don't see much farmland available anywhere. I see a bunch of junk with a bunch of rock, trees and brush. but liek you said.. lots of RV people. They opened up a new lot for about 40 of them near here. 450/m rent. it took about 3 months after they finished and now its full. $$$

    well.. you might be able to keep 1 bull on the 5 acres. do you really think you can sell semen to people b/c you bought a bull? These bull breeders are all collecting semen as well and selling it. plant some peach trees instead.

    Feeding hay

    yea they are all spoiled rotten. I set out all my rolls ahead of time and I always put a roll of alfalfa out there with the others. I'll even put out bales from different fields.. they'll usually have a wide assortment of grasses everyday. fescue, orchardgrass, clovers, alfalfa, johnson...

    Feeding hay

    Bale grazing vs Fertilize for Pasture Improvement

    I'd say for brood cows they'd do just as good. In KY i'd use to make a lot of red clover bales and they cows always did very well on them.

    Bale grazing vs Fertilize for Pasture Improvement

    I have a 3 point bale spinner and i can make a windrow like silver posted. only downside to this is if the bales are really tight or baled a tad wet they sometimes are hard to unroll. I've been using it for over 10 years. unrolling what they need I get almost 0 waste. I even unroll an...
