Better late than never

Due to drought we got a very late start on planting our winter grazing. Then really cold temps has slowed growth but we finally got to turn cattle out for some timed grazing. Green grass makes happy cows.

Ours are so wanting green grass . If a sprig comes up 2-3 fight over it . They are tired of hay and I'm tired of feeding it but we are 2-3 weeks away from putting out fertilizer on pasture. Jealous of you folks that can grow winter grazing like that .

This has not been a great grass year but know we're blessed to have what we do. I know the cows like it we creep graze the calves so they have been on it for awhile and growing good because of it.

Cousin David said it's been tough year on stockers . More losses and tough keeping enough grazing. He's letting the nephew carry the load this year . He bought fewer this year mainly because of prices and the dry fall .

Thank you for sharing…beautiful green and beautiful black. Meanwhile here in the north but you do offer me hope. In…about 90 days…

We just got a foot of snow over the weekend. It was generally appreciated because we need the moisture to get things going and the spring runoff to fill dugouts and sloughs. Won't be grazing till may/june. Nice to see pics of green grass and happy cattle!

It sure puts the grow on the calves I was watching a bull walk up late yesterday and was thinking nice bull but I though he was bigger lol it was a calf! Once he got closer it was apparent he wasn't a mature bull but at a distance he sure had some pop to him. Of course my eyes aren't what they once were either. I do love seeing black cows on green grass it just makes me happy!
