North Central Kansas | Good advice, Jim.
If you have just 'bought' this farm then again I'll echo what I said earlier. No one is holding you back from doing progressive things like a rotational grazing system. I just got a farm this spring and didn't hesitate to set those plans into motion. Yes, it's a little scary to take that step, but don't put it off. Is there any way to raise my voice over the computer? If you do a rotation, your cushion will be time. Reserve some rest time so if it turns dry you have some days to spare.

If you have some small pastures that fall calving deal is a good solution that will give you some grazing and marketing flexibility.
A cows time costs you nothing. She has all day to work for her own feed, so anytime you can let her harvest her own feed, give her that opportunity. They are much happier grazing anyway, plus she will deposit and incorporate fertlilzer for you. | |
