I hooked up a grader blade yesterday and started filling in the ruts from the winter feeding. I have been looking at the extended weather forecast here, and it won't be long until it is time to spray.

is it looking like we will stay dry for a couple weeks?

I think towards the weekend, if it keeps drying out, I should be able to do some discing.

Got a hydraulic on wheels I could borrow and I have a 10 foot 3 point type. Probably try to borrow the hydraulic.

I've never used one before but shouldn't be much of a learning curve.

A drag might work but a disc would be better. Fescue and clover for seeding. But i bet they will come without seeding.

This is my hub for the other pastures. sees very little rest.

I think it'd be good to get some warm season stuff on it. There should be plenty of seed from the hay I've fed, really. Probably fed 100 in this area.

Usually lots of chicory and buttercup with clover and not much in the way of grasses.

Time to spray is 3 days of 60° plus weather. This week will be that. Better get ready.
Sure is nice to have 3 weeks of grass left. I can turn out easily by April 5th. And no mess to clean up. Yes i fed a few rolls in bad weather but not like feeding every day.
 
Over on the coast I had a 3 acre sacrifice area that got beat up every winter. I have a very light disk. Once over it, then broadcast whole oats (cheaper than oat seed) and another pass with the disk. Left it alone until fall and then put the weaned calves on it. They would eat the the grain off the mature oats.

But shouldn't the nightime temperature be consistenlty above 40 also?
 
Last week went around some of the muddy spots and used my hand spreader to put fescue on. The cattle will tramp it in, and mother nature seems to smooth it down with the help of cattle when the ground quits freezing. Looked at some of the water tanks yesterday and when I get time will put the grader blade on and push gravel back around. Also yesterday went around fence rows and through some fields and cut small cedars on the 4-wheeler because you can see them right now. Going today to buy fertilizer with slow-release cause with these tariffs the price will go up if not already.

Seems every year I spray to early as I get a good kill with the mist blower and I make it strong, but then other weeds come up right after I have sprayed. I am going to try mid/late May and hopefully I get time before hay to put up. If I can get a good kill on these weeds, I should have everything slick. My fence rows and fields are pretty clean now.

It never stops usually start early and go to dark thirty and at the end of the year hope for a zero profit which is about a dream.

Hay mess from feeding round bales gets the Waffle House hash browns treatment.
Chunked- usually with a spring tooth harrow or landscape rake into loose piles so it can dry.
Topped- sprayed with a bit of diesel and burned.
Chopped and scattered- whatever is leftover with a rotary mower
Covered- with seed, usually clover and cool season grasses. Sometimes food plot mix or winter wheat if I have some left over.

I just finished that last process two days ago and we just had a frog choking/turd floating rain as I type. I think some call it a cloud burst. Still raining. So if some of you folks along the Red River between here and the Gulf (of America:ROFLMAO:) have some nice grass in the next few weeks, you're welcome!
 
I typically don't so anything except for maybe a gate opening that got rutted up. I backblade them smooth in the summer when it's dry. Hay is all unrolled on pasture and whatever is left gets to rot and feed the soil, and typically will have the best grass on the farm. I don't worry about it being rough because it's just a pasture and if I smooth it now it'll just be bumpy next time it's soft.
