I’ve bale grazed for 10 plus years now. Really like bale grazing across our pastures. Sure adds a lot of nutrients to the land. We graze two days at a time before moving. We set some straw in the rows that they can chew on as they clean up the hay on the second day. Would like to corn graze, but it sometimes does well, sometimes not in northern Alberta. We do swath graze barley or oats for a month or so every year in the fall with the pairs. Saves a lot of tractor hours and leaves the manure out on the land.

[@MattyIce65]

Swath grazing is a little tricky here because we can get a fair amount of rain in the fall. thanks for watching

Non-rancher here. I love hearing you discuss all the planning, rationale, and science. Great explanations.

You're one of the few that talk about baking soda. I have been using it free choice for a few years here in Oklahoma and I love the results. Keep up the great work 👍

👍👌❤️🇨🇦, I like abit of salt on my corn as well

[@JimHerman-o3q]

Why not use smaller bales.......like 3x4 foot bales ? Cows are in and out in a short time. Not so much trampling in one area !

[@KlaytonTesch]

Where do you like to do the bale grazing? hay ground, pasture etc. Also, how does the grass look the next year after bale grazing on it?

[@MattyIce65]

The best is hay ground on hills if possible. Actually I have found bale grazings on alfalfa ground two years before you put it back to farm ground is the best way to fertilize farm ground thanks for watching

[@all21leishman67]

You mention last two bales they didn’t eat “because it was sweet clover or cattails”…. Which sweet clover would it be? Also what’s your mineral program for your bulls?..

[@MattyIce65]

Yellow clover they did eat ‘em later just really stemy. We sent all the bull to a feed yard for daily rations they are force fed purina mineral all winter thanks for watching

[@brockrathje2690]

Never bale grazed before curious if you continue it while calving of feed with wagon to make sure everything is supplemented properly?

[@MattyIce65]

We start calving May 10th so we are done feeding. Try to be done bale grazing when the frost comes out.

[@clintonlehmann4369]

Only question is how u can get 3-400 cows to all get sum of your one bale of alfalfa unrolled. Not enough room and your old cows will only get the leftovers if there is any.

[@clintonlehmann4369]

Very good video though. We bale graze a lot to

[@kevin.463]

That rumensin you feed, is that loose? And how much per day does each Cow get?

[@MattyIce65]

It’s loose can’t be fed free choice 4 ounces per head day mix in the feed wagon

[@Florida239]

Do you bake without netting or string when you know you’re goin to bale graze ?

[@MattyIce65]

Sisal twine left on the bale biodegradable

[@wallyyuriy8912]

What is the protein in your Alfalfa bales?

[@MattyIce65]

Usually runs 15-18

[@wallyyuriy8912]

@@MattyIce65 nice. Last few years my alfalfa bales are 9%. Been dry. Thought they’d have way better quality. Have to buy protein supplements

[@JimHerman-o3q]

Ive grazed for years.......never put any additives in any other feeds. Only used smaller round bales of good quality grass. Shouldnt need anything else !

[@JimHerman-o3q]

Goodness..........you need a tester to check the fence ??? You have dry feet.....most likely dry socks...... dry shoes.........dry boots. So you cant just take hold of it and check it ? Imagine...if the power company turned the power off every time they replaced a pole so they didnt get shocked ??? Most places would be out of power for 20% of the time ! Sad ! Hahaha
