[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 973992, member: 97"] When the winter set in early, my son bought some more alfalfa hay from a neighbor...We noticed another small stack of bales he had- which he told us was Kochia (weeds) which we could have for nothing if we wanted them.. Cows are still out grazing- but the weather has been so dreary foggy- and frosty- with no sun- I started just grabbing a couple of those kochia bales for them every day or two or three...Bales weigh about 1500lbs apiece- so been rolling out about 1/2 and leaving the others sit around for them to bale graze... This is what the road to our house looked like yesterday...Sun only came out for about an hour... Made for a beautiful Christmassy trail...

Some of the yearling heifers going after their "yummy" kochia.. [img]http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae147/Oldtimer_2010/100_0394.jpg[/img] Some of the cows working on one of the bales I set out.. [img]http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae147/Oldtimer_2010/100_0389.jpg[/img] 69W likes her kochia... [img]http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae147/Oldtimer_2010/100_0390.jpg[/img] Some of the spots where I have set bales in the last few days- they do a pretty good job of cleaning it up- then makes a good bedground... Well worth the cost.. [img]http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae147/Oldtimer_2010/100_0391.jpg[/img] Cows go out and graze awhile- then come back and eat on a kochia bale...
