[QUOTE="C-Ranch, post: 1670116, member: 24325"] Just curious when you normally start feeding hay since I imagine your climate is close to mine. Also, do you buy all or part of your hay or raise it? I try to not start feeding main herd till 1 January, (weaned calves start getting feed when weaned in Oct) but depending on weather sometimes start the week of Christmas. Then I stop feeding once we turn cows out onto BLM pasture which is normally 1 May. I use to calve much like you described, but in order to get fields ready for irrigation to come on and get cattle sorted and calves branded I had to move calving up in order to be ready for turn out.
