I've seen a few rows of haylage that were more grey (duct tape) than white. :)

I've been told by folks that wrap that cattle will chew into them. Maybe pile them all together and run a hot wire around it?

I "think" it all depends on what they are fed. Just my personal opinion. In my area broiler usually tests out to be the lesser.

Just my :2cents:. It depends on the litter. Believe it or not you can have litter tested, usually your major ag universities can handle this. Some of it is actually good litter and some of it just chicken shyt. What I've found as a rule of thumb is that layer houses have almost the perfect...

Just when I was beginning to worry something had happened to you.

:lol: I'll have to keep that one in mind.

I've heard mixed things. A local guy cleared and did his entire place through them. He'd probably be a good source of knowledge but we got cross way's awhile back. Not that I'm one to hold a grudge or anything. :cowboy:

That's a nice lookin place there. :clap:

I'm gonna look into it for sure. It doesn't have enough timber on it to pay for the land I don't think but I'm willing to put some of my own money with it simply because of the location. Any NCRS experience CB?

Did your property have a lot of hardwood or pine? The place I'm thinking about is mostly pine so I'm sure the Ph is way off.

Had a little bit of my dream crushed over the weekend. A piece of ground we've been wanting to get our hands on has probably just sold. We were hoping it'd be available in another year or so when we'd be in a position to get it. The wife and I had already discussed where we'd like to have put a...

I beg to differ sir :cowboy: with the last part that is. Just take a look at the board "How do you handle the bad one's".

When we started this venture me and my brother agreed that we'd have to be very mobile in order to make it work. The big patches of land around here are either family land that have another generation coming up or have been sold and are being busted up for people's "funny farms" and houses. We...

Rafter I'm going to have to check this out. If it is the same across all states I'll have to remember that as an added bonus to having my cattle on their place.

I think that's the best way to look at it. Just treat it like you'd treat yours. The penciling what I'll put into vs what I'll get out of it is what I have yet to master.

So how long of a lease do you like to have before your willing to put a lot of money into a property? Things like fertilizer, spraying, seeding.

I agree on the contract Sky. I've got a place I run cattle on now and the gentleman who owns it seems to be trying to give me a leg up and simply expects the fences to be kept up and the place to be hogged. I trust this guy (I'm generally very untrusting of people) but even still I insisted we...

As we grow our operation it is becoming painfully evident that buying land and trying to get the cows to pay for it is not going to happen. I've been around enough to figure out that the number of ways you can lease land are endless. Some folks want cash. Some just want their property taxes...

We have a gentleman we do thirds on custom baling and one of his stipulations is that we take all the perimeter bales....first time I'd ever run across that. :?

Global warming :lol:
