[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 722338, member: 8840"] The issue with cross fencing is the need to reduce waste. With 135 acres it sound like you will have plenty whether or not you cross fence. The next question is, are we talking cereal rye or ryegrass, i see it both ways in this thread. If it is ryegrass and you have the need to make some hay for next year, I might just section off just enough of that to cut and bale. Maybe your neighbor would cut it and split it with you. That would keep the ground smooth. You could still graze if you needed to later. Cereal rye on the other hand is not much use as hay so I would not go to the trouble of cross fencing. If I had all that winter grazing I might consider buying some small calves around 400lbs to background. [/QUOTE]
