[QUOTE="Arkieman, post: 419535, member: 5706"] Facts: As part of the USDA "Youth Loan Program" my son has 6 Angus Heifers (to calve Jan 08) and 1 Herf cow (to calve Jan 08). 7 head total. We have two small pastures. Pasture #1 is split into 2 sections (2 acres/4 acres) and Pasture #2 is at my house that is 4 acres. Around 10 total acres. The 2 acres of Pasture 1 has quite a bit of Fescue w/ Bermuda. The other 4 acres of Pasture #1 is Bahai. Pasture #2 is Bermuda. Question: In Arkansas, how best could I prepare for the winter depending very little on hay. We don't have a tractor so moving rolls around is tough. I've read a lot of stuff on this board and spoken w/ others. I figure if I can get a good stand of rye and/or wheat, I can rotate them between the pastures. I can get rice bran from a local mill for $80/ton. We used a little of that last winter on the cow. Thinking of mixing it w/ Corn Gluten pellets for a low cost supplement. What's your thoughts???
