Glad to see good moisture in Wyoming. It sounds like the wildlife took a big hit this year and hopefully this helps start building herds back up.

It appears most guys are getting 50% hay crop compared to most years here in Missouri. Rode around the pastures yesterday and without rain expect to be out of grass by mid-August. Selling 25% of bred cows this week so I have enough grass to get us into fall regrowth and hoping the rain comes...

Sounds about like what we are seeing as well. If it all seeds out and is short I am thinking it might have to get mowed so it regrows. If rain doesn’t come though then mowing it wouldn’t make sense

East Central MO. I would agree that I can't remember a year with grass being this bad first of May. It's been dry and colder so far. Looks like next week the pattern is changing a little bit warmer and have some rain chances again. I usually keep my fall calves until August. Selling them this...

I am located in Missouri. Not enough woods on the farm unless I only want to use about 25% of the available ground. My side by side can move them around since I rotational graze so the sacrifice area will change with each rotation and shouldn't be a long-term sacrifice area. Only concern right...

Sent you a more detailed message but this is the base design. https://www.edenshalefarm.com/blog/shade-structures

Thanks for the list. I haven’t heard or seen some of them so now I have something to check out over the next couple weeks. Turned all my hay fields into pasture a couple years ago. No more inputs for me except vaccines and enough grain to make them easy to get into corral. My biggest problem...

Going to start feeding hay today. Hope to be grazing again 1st of April. I will usually start seeing the early guys bale end of April or 1st week in May

I used to mow once seed heads emerged in May and then again early August. This year is the first year that I haven't mowed anything and I have more grass than ever even with the drought conditions throughout July. I am not planning to mow this fall either since the weeds haven't come in bad. I...

I sold the hay equipment two years ago and started buying locally. I made sure to have a reliable and fair supplier before making the decision. I also have enough old barns on my place to keep 2 years worth of hay so its kind of like drought insurance for me. I think you will find that buying it...

I would go with tire water tanks. We put in the concrete tanks and they are a pain in the butt. Starting to switch everything over to tire tanks. Rubber Innovations is out of north west Missouri and sell factory defect earth moving tires that are cut for you. Very affordable and the tires i got...

Is anyone cutting back or not clipping their pastures due to fuel prices? I typically would have most of the heads clipped off by now but i cant bring myself to do it with fuel prices this year. I believe I am going to wait until August this year. Typically I would mow once most seed heads...

Yea I saw that on their page. Great weaning weights and percentages. From what I remember Greg is doing the nearly year round calving because it helps with selling the finished steers throughout the year vs all of them being ready at once to his customers.

I have to agree with Stocker Steve. My budget sheet shows that I would be most profitable running my stocking rate for fall/ winter grazing. The only item I haven't fully jumped on board with yet is the spring calving to meet natures balance. My herd is all fall calving so I now take them...

I have always enjoyed Greg's content and its all been helpful. I don't think he is teaching to the extremes. He preaches smaller cattle size and that works for him with his direct marketing approach. If your marketing is the sale barn then yes your size would naturally go up a little from his...

Does the sheet take into consideration all of the depreciation? Also think you need consider adding cost of taxes/ insurance for the land if not renting. Labor is also missing but with that many bales its going to take some outside labor force. Also agree with above on being able to sell all at...
