Planted about 7 acres of radishes and turnips, with a little annual ryegrass as a cover crop after some grazing corn this summer.. Just turned the cattle into it yesterday. They are standing by the fence bawling and are not eating. Are these things that unplatable to cattle or are mine just...

I have 15 acres of pure alfalfa that I want to sell first crop off of. The stand is 4 years old, but still very dense. No weeds whatsoever. Got potash two years ago. Foliar fed 3 applications last year. First crop last year I harvested right around 9.5 4x4 round silage bales (at 50%)...

If you are going to put it into an existing stand I would recommend putting it in strips.... or so you are able to manage it differently than the majority of the pasture. I put a pound into the mix on 30 acres last year... it is a management nightmare with bolting. My pastures are square, I...

Steve, I seeded a paddock last spring for grazing with 15 lbs Meadow Fescue, 10 lbs lbs perennial rye, 2 lbs of white clover and a pound of chichory. All varieties from barenbrug. I put this in for a higher energy paddock. P. Rye probably wont last, but the meadow fescue should last longer...

OG seed looks very expensive this year... saw some in a catalog for close to $3.75/lb... happy i got my OG pasture in this past year...

Sorry...

1st two pictures are just before christmas... stuff was laying down pretty good... we had over a foot of snow on it early in dec...

Steve, I have no experience with seeding BFT in the fall..... I did plant the mix that I posted above last spring... and it came up great.... extremely dense. I made hay in early August, and left the rest standing and grazed most of it in late december and january through the snow. This...

Planning on moving a couple of fence runs in the next couple of days, 12.5 ga HT fence.... is there a trick to re-spool the wire so that I dont end up with a mess when trying to unwind and put it back up?

If you havent had any luck finding the information you need, say something.... i have a 25 gal TSC, i could probably help you out..

Anybody on here ever use this bull, or seen some of his calves?

Going to run cattle on them. I left out a key word in my last post.... it should have read that i didnt DISK the ground first... I have disked the past couple of years with new seeding and at leaves humps and makes clipping with the mower or cutting hay rough.....

if you guys need some feed let me know.... i dont know where im gonna put 2nd and 3rd crop if its as good as 1st, i need more room.... we made round bale silage last week.... 4x5s..... 102 off 18 acres.

rule of thumb around here i think is try to get it in at least a month before the first killing frost..... I seeded some Aug 15 last year and worked great, would imagine pdfangus was in the ballpark for your area with september seeding in your area. Biggest thing when seeding into cornstalks...

maybe others can chime in on this, but I would think you might run into trouble with acidosis... feeding highly fermented feeds and spring pastures that are very high in digestible energy. Im not an expert, just something to think about. I am trying to get my hands on a pH meter to check the...

From what I have heard temperament is a big selling point for these animals... they are said to be very docile, and calm. I havent had any experience to lead me to believe otherwise. Mine were kept close through the winter and fed hay, but never run through a handling facility (i dont have one...

The white cattle are British Whites. I have a handfull of these, all first calf heifers. I like them because they eat a heck of a lot less than my simmentals, and produce the same number of calves per cow per year. We'll see how they perform, just picked em up last fall. The 1st picture was...

I will second this remark.... Im close to finishing with my 2nd calving season, the knowledge and advise that is shared on here has without a doubt saved a couple of my mommas as well.

Now I got it... 2nd day out Next 2 pictures are of the same heifer calf. Born 3/29, out of OCC Legend 616L, momma is simmental... Keeper? My overall favorite pair....calf is a heifer Dirty first calf heifer Im embarassed to show this picture but everyone seems to share only the...
