[QUOTE="CJohnson, post: 873790, member: 13695"] I planted oats, cereal rye, and ryegrass for weaned calves like we normally do, and planted extra for the cows also. Sounds crazy but with hay at more than $200/ton it is cheaper to limit graze them on small grain / ryegrass than hay and cubes. We have been getting very timely rains about every week since 2nd week of October. Oats are 6-7 inches and cereal rye is coming up good. Drilling last field of cereal rye now. Plan is to start selling hay in December when cows are on pasture and am more sure that I will not need it. Have been grazing the little bit of bermuda that grew after rain, and giving them hay in between to stretch the pasture. Also planted a pasture in turnips with cereal rye and ryegrass. Hope to set that aside for January. I have lots of volunteer ryegrass and ball clover coming up. Same thing happened after last bad drought - we had good ball clover. We grazed ball clover that year in December. Usually can start grazing it in February. [/QUOTE]
