[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1755408, member: 22072"] In 2011, we put all our cows together. Basically, for most, at that point water is a problem also. We kept them apart until the ponds started to become a problem. Then the ones that we had left were all in one pasture with the remaining pond that twice a day i pumped water into a trough to keep them out of the pond. But of course, many insisted wading through mud for a drink. They even had to walk past the trough. I know i have a picture of that. What i learned is, if you're land is licked clean as most were in 2011, once rain starts to fall you'll have a bumper crop of rye grass. In, i think it was 2012 or maybe 13, we started baling in April. The rye grass was so thick, it was unimaginable. If i have pictures i'll post them. We did nothing, no fertilizer, no tilling.... it just grew. [/QUOTE]
