Randi - I looked at your "moving cows" & this one - great pics as always.
Question - what do you mean when you say "swath" - are you leaving "lines" of grass? Is that why your pics shows long "lines" where they are getting forage?

Yes, the crop was just swathed or windrowed, laid down in rows and left. It wasn't combined or baled up.

How late in the year did you "swath" the fields? If we did that, the hay would sit there & rot because of our moisture. You are right, Angus, it is always nice to see the different ways for diff areas.

The Triticale that they are on now was swathed July 28. The oats that they will be going onto was swathed the end of Aug, first part of Sept I think.
