[QUOTE="cowgirl_jenna, post: 1000560, member: 20102"] Nice calves! Do you milk the cows? That looks more like how a dairy farm set up would be here. With that said, I have a neighbor who retired from dairy farming. The last few years he bred his holsteins to angus, and now he has about 15 mostly angus cows. He treats them just like he did his dairy cows, they come in the barn and into tie stalls. I joke with him sometimes that he is really still dairying, just minus the having to milk himself :) My next question, please describe that corn silage bale. We feed a lot of corn silage, but I've never seen it in a bale before? How is it made? With our severe drought last summer, some people around here cut and baled their corn and wrapped it, but it wasnt chopped much (some have a roto cut in their baler) but that doesn't get it that fine as your bale. Anyway, thanks for the pics, I'm really interested how others do things and like to learn! Jenna [/QUOTE]
