NS Canada | No creep, But I do try and keep good grass in front of them as much as I can with rotational grazing. The pics were taken around my poorest pasture conditions in a dry stretch we had. And the first pair is in my worst pasture - Only 2nd year using it, so its taking some time to bring back into shape.
Cows wont hit the scale this fall, but off my head I'd say 1500 on the first, 1000 on the 2nd and 1200 on the 3rd in the shape their in. Cows only get dry hay in the fall and then switch to baleage around the new year until turn out. Heifers get oats and baleage 1st and 2nd winter, just grass in summer until they first calve. Oh and basic loose mineral is with the herds at most times. Clean water is also something I try and always have for them, but still working on that too.
Will wean late next week @ around 205 days. I don't work calves until then ( I do tag/weigh/band at birth and a shot of selenium though), and I also don't do anything for flies. Fly load gets a little high mid summer, but passes - haven't decided if I will change anything there yet, rotating helps some.
Conditions range from the following,
