Good Use Of Reed Canary Grass!

[@57REDROOSTER]

What an awesome calm bull... Somebody has spent a lot of time around him... Great video's Tyson... My wife Jerri has watched this video 3 times now she is fascinated with how calm the cows are around you...

[@tlowevpnv]

Good idea to use the reed grass for bedding.

[@2fast65]

Thanks Tyson have a great day be safe.

[@RonnyR1985]

thumbs up again Tyson.great idea for using up the reed canary.that bp doess a great job.

[@markcornell986]

Glad to see you guys are warming up. 2012we had a drought here in Michigan.baled at lot of reeds canary grass, cows ate it but didn't like it..better than tree bark...ha. be safe..

[@AndersonCattleCo]

A few years ago I was short of straw just like this year and I bought some 4 year old grass bales that had been baled really late and rank and I used it for bedding and the darn cows would eat half of it every night because it was different from the corn silage and alfalfa hay they were being fed.

[@DennysCountryLife]

Yep, canary grass is a problem around here. I always have a hard time getting it to dry in a reasonable amount of time, but it does make great bedding/feed if you can cut at the right time.

[@veesercattleco.4111]

Wow does that bale grinder do a good job!👍👍

[@nathanryan3961]

That bull almost talks as much as Shawn! Lol! Thanks for videos!

[@chuckstevenson2929]

Thanks for the video. That machine really slings that Reed Canary grass.

[@leol1682]

Love your Bull he's like shaun not a big talker and like your video man .

[@mirrorimagecattleco]

When we spread hay like that we call it a "bed and breakfast".

[@KMK6464]

Cant stop laughing !

[@davidtravis1367]

I have never used a machine like that and that’s cool and can u grind it like that in spots for them to eat it?

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Same issue on my farm, my haybuster has an adjustment that grinds the bale finer, seems like its less drag on the tractor

[@stevemondal.]

Tyson do you every have enough left over straw of hay you sell for mulch or cover to the construction side of your family? Your bull C-183 is as talkative as Shaun, LOL. Congrats on a good looking herd, Travis and Ryan have some work to catch up with you guys.

[@sclivestock5943]

Nice looking bull Tyson. Are all you bulls that calm? Or do you weed out any aggressive ones? Have a good one.

[@johnfox1382]

Pretty much have to make hay out of reed canary grass in late May or the first week of June or its just sticks here in nova Scotia too. Them cows look like they are really scared of you, you can always tell when people spend more time with animals it really makes them calm.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I was waiting for the bull to answer you! lol

[@koryleague8833]

Good use of crappy hay. At least you aren't letting it sit and rot. Nice looking bull, always loved the sinintal breed. Everyone around here has a hard of for Black Angus. I enjoy seeing your cows, miss the black white face ect.

[@JamesOBrien2253]

Nice calm cattle thanks for sharing

[@canvids1]

Tyson that machine sure saves a lot of work for you folks and sore backs. Its not T shirt weather here in TO yet.

[@markgamble8377]

Cows look well fed happy and tame. But that bull was just staring at ya.

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Great looking Bull!

[@stanhensley3082]

Use what you got.We still have a good amount of snow in this part of Wi.Time for it to go.

[@rivervalleyfarm482]

Good video, good cows too. You guys spend a lot of time with them though. That helps. I have no experience with Reed canary grass, but if cows won't eat it I'd over seed with something they would. You seem to have plenty of oats and barley to make bedding.

[@goldfire1676]

Good looking bull there Tyson great video happy st Patrick day

[@Northern_Farmer]

Oh yea... I totally forgot it was st paddys day

[@jeremysmits9784]

You have some very nice looking cattle, can’t say they aren’t fed well

[@bovellois]

The sight of that dust made me sneeze. Are the bales moldy?

[@benjaminbauer4883]

We use a less power full hydrological one to feed out round hay for our dairy cows in Australia

[@lidsman2221]

Is that bull pretty friendly that was standing near you? Thanks for the video.

[@mikewood3203]

Been out of the cow game for a while, is simmental breed the popular one now. Angus was the most popular awhile back.

[@dbruns9340]

Nice bed job that looks like a big lot do you use horses to sort and pen pairs or you do it on foot?sometimes herding pairs here is like herding chickens

[@Northern_Farmer]

No just us... we use 4 wheelers to.

[@Theblindfarmer]

Cows won’t eat it other than bedding what is it good for?

[@Northern_Farmer]

If you can cut it when its really young its ok.....the cows will eat it.

[@georgedoorley5628]

i have been spreading out moldy hay for bedding all winter as straw cannot be got for any money in ireland

[@SteelyPaw]

I guess the bales they won't eat, they can at least lay down in it, nice and clean. Animals really do have particular taste buds. For example, my cat won't eat fish or some brands of canned cat food regardless how hungry she is, but there are certain brands even less expensive that she loves. Thanks for your video as always.....

[@Northern_Farmer]

Yes... reed canary grass has to be cut very young... and the ground this hay comes from is government and your not allowed to cut until mid july

[@SteelyPaw]

Be nice if for once they'd share without conditions on it. Farmers need all the help and land they can get as people depend on them so much. It's only fair the government helps out, but they should do it without stipulation. I was not aware even of reed canary grass. Most I saw on farms was hay, straw, cow corn, and wheat. I use to help bail straw as a kid, they left me drive the Farmall H, at about 12 years old lol.. I got good enough I was allowed to take the loaded wagon to the barn and back it in.

[@Johndeere-lf9pg]

we don't have much straw in our county so we bale several hundred reed canary bales and sell them every year. People use them like straw. We usually bale them in later summer after the seed heads have fell off. Most people cant tell the difference.

[@ianrobinson1589]

+That fine looking bull would look real good spread out in a big freezer - I can just about taste his meat - Another great video Thanks

[@chucklesx]

The mx 120 would have struggled big time with spreading those bales :-)

[@stanleyjones4180]

enjoyed the video thanks

[@farming4g]

Straw has been invaluable in recent years. Have even used cattail bales for some extremely cheap bedding before in past years. Our cows would demolish that reed canary grass. Can you pet any of your bulls?

[@Northern_Farmer]

Pretty much all the bulls are quiet

[@thr8061]

Knowing cows, if you use it as feed, they will just look at it. But if you spread some real crappy stuff, they will attack it like it was molasses!

[@ScotWalt858]

All good!

[@rmack48]

Cows love anything that they might think they are stealing LOL. Put crappy hay in a feeder they will stay away from it but spread it out on the ground for bedding anf they eat it like as if iws candy.

[@daledenotter6398]

that bull looks like a hereford bull.

[@1narow486]

Name the bull sean. Both say the same thing.

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

Growing Mushrooms the hard way......

[@Northern_Farmer]

lol

[@starks1414]

If my brother was standing there talking to cows I would of covered him in bedding.... Just saying

[@huntersatterfield6656]

Hi

[@stephenbyrne482]

I know it would take a bit of time but would you not take up some of that crap before you spread more bedding down PS is that not wot seam is there for you know the crappy jobs only jocking not
