We have had a pretty laid back winter. Start calving in a couple of months. Spent nearly 2 hours on chores today, but got cows, replacements and bred heifers all done for about a week.
Cows Coming for swaths
Buffet style
Portable windbreaks (keeps cows out of the bush and saves trees)
Quite a bit of Bale Grazing to go
Even fed some bales today...
Pretty happy winter. We have put about 20 hours on the tractor since November 1st (mostly bugging around), have 1/2 of our swath grazing left at the bred heifer location, nearly 2/3 of our swaths left with the big cows and our replacements and late calves are still grazing rake bunches. We are pretty confident, barring an extremely snowy May and June that we will have quite a bit of bale grazing pre-placed for next year.
