[QUOTE="IL cow man, post: 880043, member: 16742"] I may never achieve year round grazing, but the goal is to reduce hay usage. I believe the hardest thing is getting the correct stock density and getting the right calving season. The other is realizing you will need to spend the time moving and adjusting temporary fencing to graze and develop rest periods for your grasses to grow back. Weather is weather and unpredictable. Currently I have some pastures way overgrazed because the creeks went dry in the one pasture. But I do have about 35-45 days of grazing in that pasture once the creeks start flowing sufficiently. I've had cows on cornstalks for about 2 month's and feeding hay now. You just have to make adjustments. I had hoped to have hay to sell but will need it because of the 3 month's of no rain and heat and not being able to build my grass supply. My current stocking rate may be(or was) too high, also.
