[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 990745, member: 7509"] I think bale grazing with electric wire control is probably a good system if you have a lot of land. I tried it a few years ago and have yet to get a good stand of grass back in the area where the bales were located. I feed from cradles and rings in basically one spot all winter since our ground is frozen most of the winter. As we get to the spring thaw I will put a ring up on a high spot but I do not move my cradles. BTDT. I moved one a couple years ago, a cow thought that spot would be a great place to lie down, couldn't get up and went caste just a couple weeks before calving. an expensive lesson. Feeding in one spot also makes my spring cleanup easier. After rotation starts in early may I use a manure fork to build big compost piles in the sacrifice area. Drag around them, spread some fast growing seed, drag it again. Jim [/QUOTE]
