[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1510786, member: 27490"] Greg You raise some good points. In my operation, I have a feed area that has a rock base of #2 limestone gravel choked off with mine waste run. I scrape it off on a regular basis. I then spread the mature on the pasture about mid summer. The operation at Maple Leaf uses the Amish design, I have seen it a couple times and I think he has his on concrete. This guy raises some great Simmental and Angus cattle. It is not unusual for him to spend 25 k to 40 k for a heifer. I watched him buy the top selling heifer at the Owen's Brothers Sale for 24 k one year - which is near Springfield MO. He drove to Springfield from Morehead, bought the one heifer and headed back home with her. My point is he has a lot of divided paddocks with small groups. These setups allow him to run down the main lane and drop hay to each group without messing around in the paddock. This systems really works great for him. [/QUOTE]
