Crazy days around here. Cows are out on grass, although the snow is getting deep around here. We tried an experiment with corn here this year. It is the first and last time for a long time. The frost in August actually turned the corn into first rate calf feed as it locked in the protein around 12% and kept the cobs from filling, reducing the energy quite a bit. We grazed our weaned calves on meadow/brome alfalfa (foreground) and then turned them into the corn the first part of December.
We have actually been running the tractor some, but it has been to get out of the driveway, not to feed cows (we are up to just over 10 bales with horses, bulls and the 4 we have fed to calves to get them settled and through the last 4 days or so. The pics were taken a few days ago before our last 8 inches and winds.
