Made my fourth move.

[southernultrablack]

So this stockpiled grazing seems to be doing ok. Made the fourth move yesterday. It takes a little getting use to on watching cow condition, some look a little thin, some seem to be gaining. But I haven't put out any hay for them in over two weeks now.

the grass and the cows look real good.

Stockpiled? Does that mean ungrazed?

Or piled up?

Was bush hogged in July, sprayed a bit after that and allowed to grow until a couple weeks ago.

If you posted this else were, or this is TMI I apologize, but how many head, how many acres? How long is it going to last?

No problem at all BF.
15 head total on about 28-30 acres. I am into my third week and anticipate at least 5-7 weeks total grazing time.I have been moving the wire once a week, and might could have had a little better utilization if I had.

Sure beats getting in the mud don't it. It's a chore but the more offer you move the wire and give them less area the better the utilization. But with work I usually move every 5 to 6 days. I have enough to last 3 more weeks at least. On froze or dry days I unroll a roll to give them a change.

It absolutely beats tractor time in the mud/rain/cold.

I'm assuming it is fescue?

What were the summer grazing conditions on this field, and how long was it allowed to rest? At my current stocking rate, I couldn't set a side that much land on a per head basis.

It is majority fescue.

It was a new farm that I picked up and hadn't been grazed. It had lots of briars on it and we just Bush hogged it down in early/mid July. No fertilizer was applied, but I did spray with Remedy in September.

It will get better each time it's grazed as long as it's rested in between.

Thanks. Like most people, I stockpile what I can, but I don't strip graze it. I definitely see the benefits, it just wouldn't last me too terribly long either way.
