Thank you, I would have to agree!

Stockpiling grass and rotating pastures makes good sense to me. I cant make sense of daily moves or multiple daily moves.

[@ElliottFarms]

I don’t want the cows to be selective in what they eat. Also I’m over seeding clover and I want more hoof impact to push the seeds into the soil. Different strokes for different folks

The cuts could also be from calves' teeth. I notice it after our calves get a bit older and a bit more aggressive at nursing. Not saying it's 100 percent causing it but I do know that we have a few each year that get some.

[@ElliottFarms]

Yeah I can see it being the calves. I think maybe I’ve never noticed it before.

Time to consider baling hay ! Equipment can be bought for a mere 13,000 dollars ( Excluding the tractor).....far less then what most farmers spend for their truck ! Grass will grow back much faster and clean ! In order for a grass to continue to grow...it must be clipped ! Take note of lawns. Or.....you have a plant standing with or with out a seed head ! No more growing !

These fields have been hayed for the last 70 years with no livestock integration, that is the reason they are in such poor shape. It has been 3 years since hay has been taken and they are doing a lot better. Thank you for your input tho.

@@ElliottFarms Seems they are in good shape to me..... there is grass ! If thats the case and they are in poor shape......spread some fertilizer on them. 100-80-80 will more then double your yield ! But then you didnt suggest your short on pasture.......but even then... haying is more likely possible ! Grazed cattle for 45 years....rotationally. Alternated haying with grazing. Every third trip over grazing.....one trip baling for hay. The pastures thrived ! So did the young calves. They have lush tender green grass to eat. Less of a burden on the cow to give milk. A win win !

@@user-tc3ou6sy5f thank you for the input, I am cheap and don’t like to spend money so that’s why I won’t fertilize. I have plenty of pasture at the moment and every year it seems like they are getting better with proper management

[@user-tc3ou6sy5f]

@@ElliottFarms Oh my.....your cheap........but spending that kind of money ( time ) to remove trees as I commented on another video....showing tree removal .... etc ?? I guess we all have our priorities ! Take care.....and good luck !

@@user-tc3ou6sy5f this isn’t my property, it’s the land owner that had the trees removed because it was all invasive species
