[QUOTE="coach4christ, post: 876595, member: 17433"] I have a question about grass fed operations. I hope that I am not using the wrong terminology when I ask this question. I have been doing a lot of research on kicking the hay habit and year round grazing. I have read numerouse books on the topics and I think that I am ready to head in that direction. I currently have around 150 acres of pasture land and another 40 acre hayfield that I can convert int grazing when the time comes. I am currently running 20 registered black angus cows, 8 bull calves (headed to sale in spring), 12 heifers, and 1 angus bull. Most are medium framed cows with about 5 large framed. My grass is currently about 45% common bermuda, 45% bahaia, 10% other. I usually get a good stand of winter rye on my pastures. I am planning on making the transition over the next couple of years and was wondering what I could do to "sweeten" my pastures up for winter grazing. I am very hesitant to totally get rid om my hayfield, but it would be a whole lot cheaper than paying 30 dollars a bale to make hay. How many of you do this? What concerns do you have? What suggestions do you experienced people have? Oh by the way, I am in North west Louisiana. Thanks for the help. Coach [/QUOTE]
