[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 596359, member: 8978"] One year my old Dad had a wet field he couldn't plant until about June so he seeded it to fall rye. He'd put a lot of fertilizer on the fall before. The darn stuff was like a jungle by September and a heavy wet early snow had it a real flat mess. Seeing how he wasn't all that keen on spending the rest of the year trying to get it cut, dry, and baled he flogged the cows into it. You sure didn't want to be standing behind any animal out in that field! The calves just grew like weeds, you could almost see the pounds going on! He sold those calves in late October and they sure were a "taggy" bunch! The trucker said he had to spend an hour hosing out the truck! We left the cows out on that field all winter and they did what they could, which is difficult in Alberta as it is like the artic or something with snow up to your butt most years! Next spring he sure had fun trying to work that mess! [/QUOTE]
