after such a long drought!

Problem is it has no nutritional value it's all water. Cow will starve to death eating it.
Better not be 20 foot behind mine when one coughs.

Yeah, I have the same thing and they are hanging around the hay and liquid feed a lot.

It may be a little washy, but we have more cows now than we have ever had and they have never been this fat. We had luck on our side in the fall. We planted 150 ac of oats about two weeks before getting Class A biosolids spread over everything. We had a little rain every couple of weeks since then and mostly warm temperatures. This is the best winter pasture we have ever had.

Yours probably has some pretty good protein then. Takes a lot to add up to much dry matter but will put weight on them.

Isn't that the truth! I've had 4" of rain the last 2 weeks and more is predicted. The tips of the rye grass are now going rust colored. Have hay and minerals out but I sure wish it would dry out just a little.

Rain? Glad ya'll are finally getting some. Wish we would.
