It's that type of year. Get it when you can. Hope your hey supply is filling up, this winter could be rough.

@@Heimerviewfarm I have plenty of feed already but extra doesn't hurt.

After taking that first cut, you can already see how much better the grasses look.

@@Heimerviewfarm Man yeah!!!

That's the plan, and the mature hay we took dropped seeds as well to help with the thickness of the grasses

I'm amazed, gonna thicken the stand and should do well in the sandier soils.

Yes it is, now just need the moisture to stay on.

It's already growing back another month and a half we will have a nice cutting

Holy crap. Deffinitelly broke the round baler in.

Nope. Thought about it for a rack but I haven't been able to work on the barn much. Maybe we will make a few if second cut is better.

I'm assuming the summer of 93 was only important because God knew I was born.

@@Heimerviewfarm ha, That's a rather ominous birth year reference for your appearance on the Earth

Sure do lol

Crap I forgot to mention that but just some fixing and might be getting a few small things.

They are filling out nicely and putting on some weight.

Thanks Tony. Taking it one day at a time and enjoying every minute.

Sure is, not a single knotter issue. Deffinitelly wouldn't have gotten far without your help including a video. Lol

@Heimerviewfarm Is your camera man for hire?

@e.a.bfarms hahaha I'm not very good, lucky I even got this short clip!

@@e.a.bfarms for extra money he will provide commentary

@larsonvalleyfarm Somone has to get us the subs, right Jordan? Brads over there hogging them all. Lol.

Yes it did. Way better than my previous rake.

It's deffinitelly been tough. Just glad I decided to cut that field when I did. Stuff was thin enough and made for easy hsy making.

I'm hoping so and the welds hold up.

@@Heimerviewfarm 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻

I think there's residue in the tank. Anything that we dont use daily gets non ethanoled gas.

Keep watching we're gonna give it all we got. Just gotta get the baler a chance and we will be ready to roll.

@@Heimerviewfarm 😁😁😁👍👍👍

Tell you what, I'd have a sweet setup for the 80s

Being this tractor sat im just gonna keep watching it but if it gets worse I'll be doing the same thing this winter. Have excess hay will be nice especially after last year

Thanks Tony, God has truly blessed us.

Pros and cons, 190 has the option for 2 speeds every gear, 1600 has live PTO. 190 had the diesel in the hills but didn't have hydraulics when the clutch was used

How's haying going for you?

@@Heimerviewfarm We are not off to a good start. . . Lol.

Hello David, good to see you my friend.

These guys should be off to freezer camp by that time. We might end up giving them a bale if we get in the summer lul.

One step at a time, one day we will get there. Thanks for stopping by.

@@Heimerviewfarm 😁😁😁

They sure are, quick learners too

There's been a few guys saying the bugs are bad so I'm hoping we don't have the weevil issue and have to cut it short.

They tend to make a round finding grass but as soon as I walk out they gotta come out as well.

I only joked because they came off a farm that they would come right up to me. The first time in pasture they didn't know what to think of the poly wire but respected the perimeter wire. Everyone has fit right in and have had zero issues since the first day on pasture.

@@Heimerviewfarm Thats great ! At least your open to " comments " right or wrong. So many people on KZbin will block a person if they make any type of negative comments . For them.............its only about " income " ( youtube income ) ........Not the real aspect ....called farming !

@@jimmyjohnson7041 I'm not in KZbin for the money, I'm in it for the journey and to show people how far you can go with farming. You were right on the park cattle, they are a park, sim ,Angus cross.

Long term, I plan on trenching a water line and electrical.

Yeah they never saw much feed. I'm interested to see how they finish out

I'm not worried, if I had calves maybe but they are so timid.

Sure is but for burger, people are willing to pay.

It sure is, after turning this place from what it was to something that fits my operation. It's a huge weight off my shoulders.

Thanks, he has a great herd.

Does the apple cider vinegar help?

@Heimerviewfarm supposedly it is a natural wormer. So then you will have dung beetles in your patties. Also helps with feed efficiency, over all health.

So if thats true....... grazing 50% of height ??? Then what are the calves suppose to eat ? Raw stems ? The cows are already eating that ! Of which decreases milk production in a major way !!!! That leaves the calves rate of gain where ???? They have stems to eat....and little no milk ? As a previous dairy farmer I know what it takes to produce milk ! You dont get milk from a cow feeding them stems !!!!!

@jimmyjohnson7041 as dairy farmers we worked for the cow and brought them everything. Learning how to graze, it's a lot to learn but quite fascinating. When we say 50% of the height, that means graze down to 50% not start at 50%. Then everyone has plenty of food, The 50% is a rule of thumb. If they eat the top 50%, the grass is growing back almost immediately. If you graze down to 25% of the height, the plant now needs 1-2 weeks to rebuild roots before it starts growing again. If you graze it down like lawn, depending on species and time of year, that might be the last grazing for that bay. The refractometer helps with steers. Young grass high in protein will take fat off a steer, so a straw bale while grass is rich helps a lot and small bays so they don't run. But if you can watch brix readings and let that pasture age a little, when the brix get high is when the plant has good energy and will put on weight like silage.

Would have made for a great vlog style video.

@@Heimerviewfarm I was more worried about getting it home and off the road!

@@larsonvalleyfarm must have been a Friday weld.

@@Heimerviewfarm 100%

There's a few videos of them on KZbin. Seems like a simple baler, just never know with auction buys.

Probably gonna let everything get more mature to put a seed head on. Won't be quality but will help thicken the stand greatly.

Are you guys below on rainfall.

I knew you were wondering what's been going on.

@@Heimerviewfarm 😁👍
