[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1260817, member: 20599"] Hopefully I can get some answers to a couple newbie questions? Here's a couple things that I need to get sorted out in my head, as I try to figure out which cow is going where the next month or two... First, when can a weaned calf be put back with its mama? If they've been separated for at least a couple months and the mama now has a new baby, can mama and yearling be reunited within a week or so of the new baby being born, as long as nursing has been well-established? Second, what is the best way to manage manure on smaller fields? We are trying to keep the cows on a few fields long enough to get full use out of the grass, but by the time they're done, the pasture has quite a bit of manure. In our climate, it can take well a year or two for it to really break down much. In the meantime, it greatly decreases grazing area (and I'm sure can increase pathogen load). Does everyone use a spreader or rake attachment? How do you know when "enough is enough"? Any advice appreciated, thanks! [/QUOTE]
