I just got a few calves. I’ve got electric on the way, polybraid, posts, etc. I don’t have a catch pen I’ve got a barn stall and a few 10ft panels. Do you think they will try to go through the polybraid? I can open that gate for the stall and use the panels to make it a little larger if I need to but it would still only be like 10x20 something.

Hey! It could be tight but it would be worth a try. One caution… sometimes a small area and being introduced to electric is stressful bc they don’t feel like they can get away from it. I would just watch how they respond and if you need to figure something else out before leaving them. I’d give it a try. Just keep an eye on them.

Amen! My mom used to say if the grass is always greener on the other side then water your own grass. She wasn’t literally talking about grass and I’m not saying to irrigate (although I’ve thought about it) but we should all work with what we have and be thankful for what we have. Good message. This applies to everything in life. Not just pasture.

The best forage is a diverse mix and not just grasses. Your pasture will perform better with a variety of mycorrhizal fungi which you only get by having a diversity of plants above ground. Dr Christine Jones is always banging that particular drum.

All I run are corrientes. When I started them rotational grazing, there was 1 or 2 that would jump the single wire, but within a week they were all broke and I just started doing it out in the pasture, I never trained them to it. I've tried several different breeds of bulls and the beefmaster and red Simmental threw crazy amounts of white. I've had the best luck with brangus and charolais.

Any problems with them I would cold call them in a split second ❤I would see if they act right ❤send the bull to freezer camp❤ that’s my opinion ❤ I love the South Pole breed I have heard from other channels like GregJudy they wanted to see how they would turn out with CORRIENTES BREED❤keep up the great job and ke p a eye on breeding out the horns❤bless you for doing such an amazing job ❤

Corriente beef is meant to have a different flavour from other breeds, may be worth culling the bull when the time comes and trying it. Could be good / bad depending how you market your meat. Grass fed beef from unimproved genetics must have a niche market out there, combine that with the south pole to improve texture and flavour could give a marketing advantage done right. The animal management side should be a breeze for you, its turning that into a profit that will make or break the venture. Just my 2 cents.

You have got to make money with the cows to be able to stay in the game. If that means you allow more selective grazing, than do it. I am not a big fan of dogfennel either, but I have been noticing my cows topping it, as long as it isn't really mature.

Nature isn’t prescribed, hence we shouldn’t be either. I’m not a big fan of your grazing style. I see a reduction in animal performance when I put them on woody forage. When I’m on winter stockpile, they get a real good ensiled feed unrolled for them as well.
