[QUOTE="novatech, post: 721000, member: 5494"] Same in our area. I plan on running an electric fence on a hay meadow I recently leased. It actually comes out a lot more economical to graze instead of baling.(Stockpiled forage will hold a fair amount of nutrition until about February.) Once it is grazed down I may plant clover, taking advantage of the wet winter, for the spring. The cows recycle the N back into the soil. The cows are allowed to graze down the clover. I then let it go to seed while the Tifton 85 takes back over. When it grows back out I either sell it standing for hay or buy stockers to graze it again if I do not need the hay for my own use. It really looks as though we need to keep our cattle operations fairly liquid for the next few years as our weather patterns are so unpredictable. [/QUOTE]
