Got 40 acres of mostly fescue here at home for this. Planning on running water lines (underground) for some waterers. I thought I’d rotate graze and supplement in troughs with buckets moving across the pasture when grass is good, then when pasture is seasonally done, (I DO NOT overgraze), drylot feed a dry grass hay based ration into bunk. If things go well, I think a covered bed pack would be nice during this phase-it usually rains plenty around here- East Tennessee. Hay would be purchased. Any advice is appreciated, especially on feed.
