Here are some pictures of a few of my cows. Tell me what you think. They're not the best pictures especially the one of the bull, I'll try to get better ones.

I like your cows! And your fences! And your hay!

Seriously, I think you have some nice cattle. They are obviously well cared for. I like that, also :D

That fence is interesting. I have a plumbing company and I think 1" galv is about $.30 a foot. So to run 330' of 4 rail it will cost about $400 compared to $180 straight 9 woven. Whats your post at? Seems like the top rail would get bent easily if the posts are stretched to far tho. I like it.
 
Good looking cows. I like the looks of the hay also. How long do you keep hay stacked outside stacked the way the round bales are? I would have concern about the bottom bales if it rains on it.

The fence is two inch hollow pipe. It works alright but is a little weak, I need to add braces between the wood posts to strengthen it.
 
The last photo of the bull is a good definition of "self confidence". I like that and I like him. Saw your hay stack. Never done it like that. How does it keep in the weather stacked like that?
 
I tried stacking some extra hay like that one time here (Virginia), never again. Might as well dump the bottom roll in a ditch somewhere.

pup - Mind telling the age of the first cow? She's got the body of a 3 yo with the face of a 10 yo.

The hay usually doesn't get stacked like that but someone else stacked the hay you are seeing in the pictures. It hasn't been stacked like that very long it is going to be ground here shortly. The cow in the first picture is a 4 yr. old.
 
We stack hay like that here in IA because if there is an ice storm the plastic wrap all sticks together and wrecks the bales. It's easier to seperate the bales. We wasted a lot of cornstalks by the bales breaking apart.
 
That's a good way to stack hay in a hay barn, keeps the bottom bale from collapsing. I wouldn't let it rain on it if I could help it.
