[QUOTE="Larry Sansom, post: 132885, member: 332"] We typically are on Stockpile Fescue until early to mid Feb - both Summer calving (May June) and Fall calving (Sept Oct) cows. Last several years we have bred fall cows on Stockpile - pulling bulls Feb 1 and have all calved with in 45 of a 60 day breeding period. When we run out of stockpile - I use the long cut vaccum haylage system from New Zealand. By far cheaper than equipment cost for hay, no wet forage, and good nutrition,no drop in omega 3 for cows and a simple 1 man 1 tractor, 1 pass over the field operation. More on my web site or you might have seen it advertised in Stockman Grass Farmer. [/QUOTE]
