[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 1294030, member: 2308"] Thanks, Jed. Boondocks, We keep an eye on the forecast, but the long range is showing really good weather. The cows 1/2 hour away will get moved home at some point. That somewhat depends on the weather, or on how long the grass holds out for them, whichever happens first. If we were to get a heavy snow those girls would be coming home, hopefully before the snow as we have to truck them and the roads out of where they are can be a problem, plus the semi doesn't do so well in snow. They will get dropped into the first group of cows pictured and they will stay there till about Mar 1 when we will bring them to the yard for calving. That pasture is 1 1/2 miles from the yard and once the grazing is used up we will feed them hay there. The second group of cows pictured is just 1/2 mile from the yard, and they will get fed there once their grazing is used up. They will likely stay there till late Apr when they get close to calving and then will be moved to the yard for calving as well. And by then the main group of cows should be done calving and will be moved out to summer pasture in early May. Snow is usually not a big issue here as far as grazing goes, the quality of the grazing is usually the limiting factor. By late Dec/Jan 1 the main herd of cows will be well into the third trimester and will be needing better quality feed. [/QUOTE]
