yeah I hear ya there. This hay doesn't look bad (I attached a pic of it). I'm just thinking a could save a few bucks maybe. I gotta buy hay the rest of the year and hay in my area goes for $90-100 for a round bale, I can get this for $60. I figured if I put it in a feeder and let the cows that...
yeah I feel the same way too. Now I was asking my vet what they thought of it. The response I got was she rather see first cut hay used in this stage of the pregnancy in my cows. I'm just wondering if I could feed it out after they calf. I have a bit of every age group in my barn and I found...
Hey folks. Hope all are well. So I have been offered some second cut hay for fairly cheep. I'm just wondering when to feed and even if I should bother buying this hay. It appears there's some starting to head out but mostly just the grass part. The supplier says it was down for 1.5 weeks last...
Ic. Well my plan isn't to use the trees as a production crop just to use as shade. I plan to keep roughly a few dozen trees over the 3 acre area. What I'm keeping are more mature new trees roughly 3or 4 inches in diameter. I'm just wondering is anyone at this as well or... . I also plan to keep...
Hey folks. Hope everyones winter is going great. Been researching for quite sometime about silvopasture and multi species grazing. So I have about 3 acres of unused land on the farm thats semi clear cut and some has fairly new wood growth on it. Most of the new growth area is a combination of...
Cool!!! Now I don't think mine will look as nice as 4hfarms pic but as long as I got an area for my cows to graze that's worth it to me. At the moment I have 3 pigs I'm raising, that I have on a section of this. man they have done a wicked job at killing the shrubs and things that started to...
Hey Guys. Just wondering has anyone ever made a pasture from a clear cut forest? We have roughly 3 Acres of forest we have recently clear cut just around the beginning of covid. I had the intentions of getting it then cleared with an excavator to set in hay for hay ground/pasture. Of course...
yeah that's an option but I don't want too be waiting on withdrawal times. And if Aspirin has no withdrawal time then thats a better fit for my situation.
Hey folks this is a 2 part question. So got a 8 month old calf that's become lame. So I have been told I can use Aspirin for pain relief. From what I have read there's no withdrawal time on it, is it true?? Secondly what is the dosage of normal household Aspirin? Before anyone asks yes I've...
Hey folks hope everyone is doing well. So I'm clearing some ground and I've come across a patch of sheep laurel. I wanna put some pigs on this piece for the summer. It's my intention for the pigs to root up the ground and what not so later next fall I can set some hay seed into it. Which I'll...
Ken I know I can't answer your question. My barn is full of mixed breed beef, dairy beef cross and dairy bulls. I'm struggleing to understand it all too. And cost now is playing a role on my decision on how to feed them. For example calf starter feed here just went up $3 in 2 weeks on a 25kg...
