[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 682761, member: 7509"] linbul, Thank you for your reply. You are making a couple incorrect assumptions however. My cattle get plenty of exercise. Yes my paddocks are small but there are a number of them scattered up and down hills. I had a visitor yesterday who in fact remarked about that. I am finding many benefits of rotational grazing my cattle through smaller paddocks. They have quite a walk to and from a single waterer several times a day. My cattle get plenty of hay over the winter - I have the hay bill to prove it! Grazing corn is just a part of their winter program. It is still a bit of an experiment. If you look back on some previous threads you will see how I accidentally got into grazing unharvested corn. I don't know if Wisconsin is considered a "short grazing season area" or not. What this board illustrates is that there are many very different ways of raising cattle successfully. Randi's "pulling the bulls" thread shows another, maybe more traditional, western, way. I'm experimenting to find one which fits my land resources and market. Thanks again. Jim [/QUOTE]
