Buy a Jersey or Corriente bull, next time the fence is down turn it loose and drive it across to his side. Fix the fence.

Grass tetany is more common in older cows. These are young and on hi-mag, I'd let them have it. If it's only 15" then I assume you've been drier than normal this spring, mine is as high or higher and I'm north of you a good ways. I doubt it's a concern, normally tetany is associated with the...

Let them out on cereal rye today. My last two fall calvers and our hay burners. Please forgive the thin cow, don’t know what’s up with her. No loose manure. The four have been getting just shy a bucket of shell corn most days. The little heifer is in way better shape than the 4 year old. Both...

Hate to be negative, but 2012 started with a massive amount of clover everywhere here. Road ditches, pastures, thick and tall. I hope this isn’t a similar year.

Yep I know the type. 10x50 house trailer with tail lights, 1 acre with 4-5 horses. Brand new dually with a three horse slant, deluxe living quarters.

I'm going to seed in some high traffic/dry lot areas sometime from now to early spring while it's soft, hopefully the hoof action will put it in.

You might try crabgrass. That's what I'm going to try this year. I believe we've kind of discussed this in another thread before.

I’ll let you know this summer.

There's crabgrass there, but this is the quick n big improved variety. I bought a couple bags to try out. I have another 4-5 acre lot with two horses and from 2 currently to 7 cows on it last summer. Unimproved crabgrass, I fed maybe two bales since last spring. Had a younger open red angus...

Beside this pasture is a 4 acre dry lot, has short white clover and winter annuals in it. They were all out in it a couple hours after I turned them out, picking what they could there. I plan on spreading crabgrass in this lot this winter and letting hoof action put it in. Hopefully have...

Turned out on stockpile today. Lots of short clover in with the fescue, green and tender. The cows have put on some since I turned them out on the stalks, I gave them some wet baled cereal rye that tested over 12% in the last few weeks. Been warm and drier than normal this winter, hopefully...

Bt corn stalks last a surprisingly long time. I graze stalks. Some around here bale them and mix them with wet distillers grain in a tmr wagon on years when hay is short.

Seed cool season grass in a month that ends in R.

Go for it. Seed your grass in a month that ends in R. Far south as you are it should be fine, I would do it here. I assume winter grass means a nurse crop like wheat, oats or cereal rye; they'll get tall enough to take the brunt of the frost by late winter. I would go with the CR, it's the...

We've had a fairly dry year. We didn't have a drop of rain in June, and not much since the first of September, but had some nice timely rain in July and August. We had 1.2" over the weekend, but you can drive anywhere you want today. Not as bad as many of you on here, I won't complain. The...

Turned some of the girls onto a corn stalk field today. Some are already finding a few ears, some are more interested in the little winter annuals like in picture three. The fourth picture shows the remnants of the cereal rye I wet baled this spring before planting corn. I got 56 5x5 wet bales...

Wow I need to start bush hogging for hire. I do all the neighbors little patches for free, that’s why I’ll always be poor, hard to charge folks who are like family.

Good price. We’re around 25 here and it’s not an excessive haul.

Good thing the white oak was still up this summer, I was pretty happy with our check. It's sad when fine Red and Black oak goes for construction mats.

Old timers used to sprinkle shelled corn around the stumps, the hogs would eventually root them out. If you're in no hurry, it will do the trick, a hogs snout is a heck of an excavator.
