[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1439745, member: 22072"] Mowing, or known here as shredding, is done this time every year on grazing pastures. This year is the worst ever because it may need to be done twice. If we didn't mow, we'd get weeds out of control... Best time to mow is before the weed in question puts out seeds.. We had a few fields that needed fertilizer, but with the prices of chemical fertilizer we went with the chicken litter out of the egg factory. Let me tell ya, you could grow grass on a bowling ball with that stuff. Luckily we got rain this year, typically when we go to the expense we get no rain. But the pastures we did put it on are growing like crazy. One field we baled twice and since I've had a herd of 50 cows with calves and 3 bulls on this tiny pasture for over 2 weeks... Its almost solid grass and next year will be almost weedless because of being baled twice. We also put it on a hillside pasture that struggled to grow anything other than poor joe. Grass loves the stuff... [/QUOTE]
