@ClinchValley86 I don’t think I would be able to move as often as you do. I could manage every 7 days, keeping my moving days on Sundays. 75% of the time I’m working 6 days a week 12-13hrs including my driving time to and from work. Do you carry over the same technique in winter time as well?

That’s what I’m trying to get figured out is what sizes and if I want to do permanent cross fencing? All i can use is a solar charger and I really haven’t ever used it so I’m not sure how good it is. Not only if I used it I would have to move it ever other rotation and drive extra ground rods...

With me never used a rotational grazing methods with paddocks how does everyone size their paddocks? I finally closed on the other small pasture so now I have 20 acres together to rotate. There is a dry creek that separates the 2 fields so I will make me a creek crossing to connect the 2...

That guy is hit or miss. He is one of those that just seems like he hates his job

Hey guys. Sorry for such a delays return. Full time job has been killing me along with these 2 kiddos…… just been very busy. I started clearing up the old fence rows on my grandfathers old place that I bought. Man what a mess. I bet since my grandfather sold and moved no one had done any fencing...

@Mark Reynolds wonderful words of wisdom.

Cow/calf operation. Just small operation. 6 cows 1 bull. I typically sell the calf’s around 9-10 months old

Yes I will be drilling right there at Labor Day. According to everyone local I’ve talked to that week is the sweet spot

@Mark Reynolds wow thank you for that awesome Info. I just need to get what variety of seed to get and where to buy them.

Glad this got jumped back up on top of the board again. I only found out about the toxicity in fesue a few month ago and have been reading about it since then. I’m waiting on surveyors to finish up for the other chunk of small property. So I will start a rotational grazing method. I did talk...

So you can adjust which ever box to a certain depth? Say the back row to 1” and the front to 1/4”?

Ok guys. With me renting a drill this fall I was thinking of incorporating so wheat for over the winter. To my understanding is fescues, orchard grass, and clovers planting depth is 1/4” and wheat is right there at 1”. With that being said would I be able to drill the wheat first since it is...

Little update: If things work out in my favor I will be purchasing another 12 acres within the next month maybe 2. Part of my grandfathers old place. Very exited and plus it’s sentimental to me. Anyways gotta redo some fencingand it’s ready to go. I talked to my local nrcs today and man he was...

I have thought about both seasons but only have though you can plant certain seeds and certain times of the year.

So even if I was to come across a seed drill does everyone still recommend to keep cattle off until it’s established?

So you will seed and leave the cattle on it for a few days then pull them off?

The dark moon in February is stuff that I’ve been looking for but couldn’t find. It’s little things like this that make a difference.

I’m in south east tn but lucky down in the valley so no hills here. I’ll check in with my local USDA office and even the UT ag office as they may know about a drill. Splitting the pasture is a great idea but I would have a issue there. I’m on a well but use spring water off the mountain as my...

So I’ve had a few threads on the site but just now generalizing each topic to each thread. So now let’s go over seeding. I have 6 cows and a bull on 14-15 acres. There are a few small wooded patches for shade. So I fertilized last year triple 19 then realized a soil test would be the best...
