[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1528815, member: 24583"] I like grazing Steve. I think if there’s a way to let the cow or calf harvest their own food that’s the cheapest way to feed them usually. I promise I’m not trying to be negative or keep coming up with reasons something won’t work but the problem here with grazing annuals is that almost every fall during the normal planting time it gets dry as a popcorn fart and is usually still hot until Mid October. Then we get a little moisture, get it planted, and bam, it turns cold. Then it doesn’t hardly do squat till early spring. I want to go to a grazing only operation and use hay only as a backup during hard times. About concluded that the only way to accomplish this in Georgia with any consistency is gonna be with center pivots. It’ll work for sure then but it’s a long term investment. Probably gonna put one on one pasture in about 3 years. Got some more stuff to pay for first. [/QUOTE]
