Interesting comments about cedars Our cows live in the cedars all winter long. In fact back in the old days we did not even bother to provide a shelter for them. The bush was what they lived in when the wet, wind, snow and cold hit. Even the the few cows we have left today spent the entire...

So you are not dead after all. Too bad - I was one of those who might have been interested in your widow. 8) Actually my wife would probably have objected But the others really do exist

Then I will address this to the widow as she will need to know. Nitrogen on a hay field is OK - but there are other things as - and in fact sometimes more important. So my dear - after you bury your husband - call the local fertilizer company and spend the few bucks to get some soil samples...

Well, I said I was out of this one - but you want more info. First - I have never in my life personally posted a picture on this site and I never will. I have sent two to someone else to post for the pic contest. Won one and placed dead last in another. Go here...

When folks complain about mud and then drive over the fields to feed animals they are their own worst enemy. The big difference I see is I put all the hay out at one time and never drive on the field again. I never start a tractor to feed an animal all winter unless it is an unusual...

Hot wire? Sometimes - but when you have 3-4 feet of snow on the ground and some big drifts they stay with the feed even if the gates are open. You can separate with hot wire if the snow is marginal - like it is here now. I do not have enough animals left to worry about now. Sometimes we use...

Yup - feed once a winter and bale graze - you will lose a bit more hay but it is easier on the ground, easier on the cattle, easier on the equipment and you have no expense for fuel, no maintenance, no labour, etc Pencil it out and it comes in that the hay losses are more than paid for. Most...

Seems to me that it gets muddier outside the hay ring - which we never use any more - than inside. I am with hurleyjd on this one. Bez__

Interesting how the world ends at the 49'th. While we bale graze on a continual basis here at the farm we do a bit of swath grazing. We were in it continually in Peace River country which is where I first saw it done. Used to literally do it in quarter section and section sized pastures. We...

In fact we do - it costs about 20 bucks and then we sort the hay into "quality" sections for winter feeding A bit more work but it helps to cut down on mineral - which we custom blend for the feed we are putting out

Lots of folks come on here and wonder why there grass or clover turned colour, came up patchy or what ever. And in turn lots of folks come on here and provide that advice. But in truth - it is an investigation. And that means eliminating the possibilities. Far too few people add a soil test...

Lots of different prices but not a lot of clarity. So here: Cut - 20 bucks an acre Ted - 12 bucks an acre Rake - 15 bucks an acre Bale - $1.25 per foot if round / $1.15 per foot if big squares Wrap - 6 bucks a bale Treat with preservative while baling - add 15 cents per foot What ever number...

Howdy Hick! Actually he does not have to listen to me - I was just being nice and passing along what I know But you are exactly correct - that would be some good info to pass on and I completely forgot - will try not to forget again and thanks for reminding me that I should have added that in...

I admit to living in a different part of the world, but it would be too late up here to wrap - the damage is done. I am assuming it has been baled for at least 48 hours now. We make a frigging lot of wrapped hay - hundreds of bales for sheep feed. It has to be high quality as any mould can...

Why would you accept the answers of complete strangers on the internet? I have an answer that might be reasonable, but I will not give it. Call your nearest ag university and ask to speak to someone who is a feed / forage specialist Call your nearest federal or state ag department and ask to...

They all have their purpose - we do both for that reason - biggest one being one sheds water and the other does not Do what is right for your operation and do not worry about the neighbours Bez__

Wire cutters? Always carry them - they work Used to use the same type of system to repair belts underground in the potash mine. 8 foot wide belts Cheers Bez
