Our grass has been slow to get going. I'm still keeping hay out.

You should move.

Can't. Too poor.

We are keeping hay out also, but the goats really don't need it. We are greened up here and leaves are sprouting. Pears already blossomed, and right now dogwoods are currently.

How many bales do y'all usually feed out each year?

I have a friend who does rotational grazing that swears he can get 40 head of momma cows thru on less than 50 bales a year.....and on less ground than I have.

80 cows and 1 bale per day #1000-1200
Depends on how long the winter lasts
I’ve heard of guys doing that
Different ball game up here though because of temps etc

One thing is for sure. Mark Adam has a good ring to it. If I ever have a man child.....I'm gonna consider that name.

Mark Adam Evans

Have you looked at what Joel Salatin is doing in VA? Granted, he is doing more than beef, but the ideas are the same. The infrastructure to divide paddocks is high initially, but you may reduce hay usage considerably. Hard to change the way we've always been doing things.

Yup, up here you have to give stock all they'll eat, that heat in their gut is what keeps 'em from freezing to death.

I fed out about 300 bales this past winter. I actually felt like that wasn't too bad for 60 head.

You'd think the guy would be out there with that newly acquired Solo swinging that thing around like a Jedi or some chit.

Doesn't look like you did anything! Just a dusting. Lol

If you could afford it you mean!

...or at least have his wood in a row as his name implies. Lol

It will be in a row soon enough. Kinda ran out of time and energy yesterday, I am not 30 years old anymore. Feel it this morning too...
