[QUOTE="OK Jeanne, post: 713108, member: 3333"] My sweetie planted about Sept 10th. There's about 60 acres of useable bottom land---a creek runs through the middle of the 80 acre parcel. Three bulls that are 1 1/2 yrs old are on it, and the weaned bull calves---weaned Oct 10th. The weaned heifers we put in regular pasture---don't want them to put on huge amounts of fat . He planted about 15 acres with oats and the rest with wheat. We will graze it all winter, take the animals off about March 1st, then make hay in early May. The oats have never all frozen out. They will get bit back in a bad winter, but come back when it warms. We've never had the wheat (nor rye) boot out, but that one variety of oats did. He also drilled some hilltop pasture with the oats. He uses a no-till pasture drill. It was almost 80 degrees here today and forecast a little warmer tomorrow. It is about 10 degrees above average. I still have tomatoes on the vine---and a couple of roses blooming. He planted "Bob" oats and "Jager" wheat. We usually have have our beef steers on that field at this time of year---to be ready for the butcher in late Jan-early Feb. But this coming season we are not producing any beef. [/QUOTE]
