[QUOTE="nap, post: 554930, member: 8447"] Let me start off by saying that there is nothing about dealing with hay that I like. My ultimate goal is to become almost completely independent of hay. My approach is twofold. One, to incorporate the techniques of Mig into my program. I have read numerous articles by Salatin, Garhish, Judy and others who seem to be making it work. Secondly, I have chosen animals with a strong Brahman influence. I live in the southern part of Arkansas and have chosen Brahmans for there heat and pest resistance and their preference to graze just about anything they can reach. I have found that during the winters these animals will eat bamboo and just about anything that stays green and thrive. I think it is time to rethink our reliance on hay just because daddy and grand daddy did it that way and try to adopt new ideas and approaches that will make out business more economically feasible. I know this is a very controversial subject but I am anxious to hear what others think. [/QUOTE]
