Feeding hay now, they started out eating pretty heavy. I had blocked them off half the pasture since first of November. Ryegrass and clover are growing in pasture, did not look like allot out there, but turned cows out first of January and hay consumption has dropped over half.
Calving will start around February 21. I will bring cows up close so consumption will go up then, but hopefully pastures will start to grow pretty good about that time.
Working on equipment, trying to get everything in good shape for next year. Also been enjoying some time off from the rush of hay baling and other chores. Been creating databases for cattle and equipment, hopefully this will help in better record keeping. Really trying to get a cost per hour/per bale etc to run. I hope this will help.
