[QUOTE="mack, post: 547170, member: 7386"] I had a feeling after I hit the "submit" button that someone would have a come-apart about the hay statement. No need to take offense. We could all feed less hay with better grazing management no doubt. I've never heard of anyone North of Indianapolis that has been thru a winter yet w/o hay (believe it or not Southerners... this happens and hopefully someday I will be in the club). Although, I did see ranchers in Oregon blade off 3' of snow to strip graze triticale. Would you agree with me however that the serious graziers among us should all be [i]working towards [/i]eliminating hay and grain? Even if it is not 100% possible, one step closer is progress. The barbed wire thing is a touchy subject I know. But I will stick to my guns on this. It would not be fun to mob graze if you refused to use anything but barbed wire on your farm(I know people like this who dont uderstand electric fence) My view was not in any way intended to be a "blanket statement", but one that pertains [i][b]solely to my perception of mob grazing[/b][/i]. Maybe I should have said if you're not willing to think outside of the box. Whenever you support anything that is resistant to the status quo... there will always be someone who says you are crazy.:mrgreen: Sorry if anyone takes offense. [/QUOTE]
