[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 757532, member: 8973"] Jeanne I have variable size paddocks due to the manner I have my paddocks built now. I only have two permanent parallel wires. I can set a back polywire and a front polywire and progress down the area being grazed with however much forage allocated that I want. I find this much more efficient than the permanent "grazing cells" that I previously used. As you are aware I do not put up hay but without the partition wires the area that comprises the long paddocks would be easy and efficiently harvested. I can bushhog with minimal encumbrance as I only turn at each end of the long rectangles that range from approximately 3 to as many as 24 acres. If your layout would adapt to such, you may want to give this some thought. Regarding the snow in the pic. We get about that much at times. My cattle prefer the stockpiled fescue to hay under the circumstances. I have read that some Canadians are wind rowing forage for the cattle to eat from under snow. Making hay and feeding same is an expense I want to avoid. [/QUOTE]
