[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1190881, member: 17767"] Same here. My stockpile experiment provided no results last year. Nevertheless, in my short life as a cowboy, I have never fed hay before the first of the year. I have more grass on my 80 acres right now than I have ever had. The back 20 acres have hardly been used all year. The south 20 acres have not had cows on it for 2 months. Then I have my 20 acre hay area on top that could be fall forage if I needed it. I have some confounding managaement issues to deal with. Example: Currently, I have my small herd on the north 20 acres. It put them there about 2 weeks ago. The cows are LAZY. All they do is eat on the first 5 acres of the pasture close to the water and minerals. They lay in the sunshine and are content to be close to ole Ron. I got those girls spoiled. I know the response I will get: Use temporary fence to force them back. But the only water is the automatic Richie near the shop. So it would involve a lot of work. I need to manage better! [/QUOTE]
