How many weeks worth of hay is the ground pile?

I would not worry about bloat concern if there is mostly grass. I have never heard of any toxicity concern either. I am just familiar with red and white clover. White is supposed to be best for nitrogen fixation but a mix of both is recommended. I'm not sure if they would do well in your...

Sounds like you need to move where there are fewer people then you will know what a quarter is lol! Sorry couldn't help myself.

Our rural water bill is expensive so I would definitely try pumping water from the pond.

What kind of insulator is recommended along woven wire? I really like the offset wire brackets with pin locks on the end. I don't know if that will install easily for one section of my fence though. It's horse fence so the vertical wires are 2 inches apart. Maybe not an issue for cattle woven...

@LocustDaleCattleCompany will you send these calves straight to sale after done grazing the cover crops? I have heard there can be major shrink issues after grazing cover crops.

One thing I like about having stockers is there is always value in keeping certain classes of them. Not always the case for dry cows. This hasn't happened yet, but if I ran out of grass, I could send them to a custom yard. Feed price goes up with short supply, but so does value of putting weight...

Good time to have grass

Couldn't you just install a big pipe underneath the tire tank so you get the same effect as the cobett? Might not fit NRCS specs

@LocustDaleCattleCompany do the calves always have access to shade while grazing through the annuals?

How many calves to the acre is normal for those 60-70 days? Also, do you stagger planting dates on purpose or is that due to rain in the forecast?

Market price is ethical.

I am confused about putting up the timeless posts. Do you have to put up the posts before the first wire? Or I suppose string a wire, then put up posts, then take the wire down? I used pasture pro posts for an internal fence. You drill holes in them after pounding in. They work well, but they...

I asked wrong. What is the 54? Is that TDN?

@DNelson what is the second number?

I wonder how much fencing the savings in hay could pay for.

Very cool! Have you been on corn stalks up to now? I am grazing stockpiled fescue now, but I didn't have any cattle during the fall to let the stockpile grow.

I would buy more cows 😁

Fancy cattle

You could combine individual grid points to have fewer overall tests.
