Sorry guys/gals I don't post much but read all the time. We run 200head cow/calf operation in south Sask. When they come home late Oct/Nov we graze farmland until Dec/Jan. When its cold or the snow is too deep we supplement them with Triticale grain and hay. We would really like to not start the tractor everyday and have them be more self sufficient in that time period. Tried swath grazing triticale once and almost killed some cows because the crop was so rank. So that turned me off and have never tried again. I don't want to be moving electric fence every few days (sorry). FYI they only had 2 swathes of triticale on 50 ac field.Just looking at options. Can we bale graze oats or rye? I know triticale bales would be too "hot" I am afraid with bale grazing there would be too much waste and worried about regrowth if on native or tame grass. Anyone work out corn grazing costs? We aren't in the perfect area for that but it is getting more common around. Open to all options so let them fly. Thx.
