I started last Saturday with large sq bales in a ring feeder. My bunch must have been hungry as i had to drop another Monday, Thursday and Sunday(yesterday). I bought more hay than years past but i have more lbs in the field than b4. At this rate ill be buying more in a few months :devil2: Bill

Mine is 48 high and 5 hi tensile wires, dont remember the individual heights and it has worked fine. Its right on a road. Did half a newborn calf walk through at 4 wires and found him sleeping in the woods.

canoetrpr, I buy my hay that way, got 11 big sq bales across the road for $110. cheap cause i pick um up.

Now im worried about the alfalfa i got that was put up a little damp and its dusty. i got 70 some small squares for little over 100. I figure on mixing with some good grass hay. I did give em a bale to try, they ate it up with good grass growing in the field....still standin

Yeah I do realize I'm not his market i think the minimum acreage include in that price is a good amount. Talked to my neighbor that we got a field of hay from and he says they are just getting pickier too,, their busy. Looks like ill need to look at those 25 gallon tanks with booms on wheels...

Called a local sprayer to see about spraying for weeds. Only about 6 acres you can get a sprayer on. they said cimmiron and crossbow. then the fellah said Minimum $500. :stop: :drink: Is he crazy, i can buy,build a rig for that. Bill

JHH, Same here, every 7 days, we've had good rain too. I only have about 9 acres pasture that is cut into 5 paddocks, and with 2 pairs and a BIG bull it looks great. By the time they rotate back in i have white clover just like in your first picture plus the red clover i frost seeded is coming...

Now only if i could keep the cows off long enough for it to grow!? Its actually everywhere all over the place here, and I broadcast 25 lbs to boot.

Thanks Dun, I feel better now :mad:

Ive been trying to sew some clover seed for a few weeks. I finally got the seed and innoculant, then we had a 2 day rain soaker. I was hoping to get it done before the weather started warming, but we are expecting some warm weather and not much below 32 for the next week. Yesterday i broadcast...

Im a no budget operation, presently putting a hay field in pasture and soon that will be open. I just used a broadcast seeder and weave had a lot of rain lately and its coming up, these are existing pastures ive closed till spring. Thanks for the input.

I bought some annual rye grass seed for a couple acre pasture. Is it to late to broadcast this,(Oct 4th) we've had a lot of rain and raining now. I'm just a couple miles south from the Pennsylvania line in Maryland. I had read in a farm newspaper to hold off on perennial rye?? Bill

Agmantoo, is Marshall ryegrass your primary seed you spread.I'm trying to figure out the best pasture mix for a old hay field that will be grazing (5 acre)area soon. I'm in MD near PA border so we get a little icy. Bill

Well I wanted to let yall know whats goin on. and first thanks for your observations and assistance. I ended up E-mailing my local extension office. Theire suggestion was to mow and spot spray any new foilage with Roundup or equiv. Took about 5 hours to get rid of brush and mow. Now I can open...

agmantoo, I told him what the plans were. He did say that you couldnt grow fescue for 2 years. I sent the local ag ext office the picture.

This is exactly what it is. Dormant mullberry this is what some of the taller ones by the fence are fruitlass mullberry

Its not dead, must be perenial. Does have white flowers.

Oh its brush , hard woody thorny stuff. some one called it devils thorn. also some multi floral rose there too.

OK, southern states suggested cutting down, letting it leaf out then hit it with Cimeron? minimum 10 acre=$170 for man and machine and 13.00 bucks an ounce for the cimeron. Might be five acres there. he said 1 1/4 ounce cimeron per acre. sounds like fun

Thanks Vett, I just got off the phone with southern states, the fellah over there has concern about getting spray equipment over the field and suggested mulching first???? Ill have to go see the farmer next door and see if he will spray it. As long as i can figure this out SOON!
