Cotton1- I'm in the northern part of McCormick county but still not too far. Everyone asks me how the cow business in doing and I tell them that the price drop hurt but the drought is a continuous kick in the stomach. Looking back I wish I had destocked some in the early summer, kept waiting on the rain that never came. I will learn from it. I have carried the majority this far so I will keep going hoping for the best. Rest periods will vary with season and rain. In normal years my first rotation (around April) may be 30 days, while my last rotation will be around 120 days.
True Grit- I understand that all locations are different, and every year is different. If I lived where there was snow on the ground all winter I don't think I'd be a cattle farmer :lol:. Can you grow fescue at all? Do you plant winter annuals?
Hope this thread didn't get too far off topic.
