Now That the Fields Are Bare...

Now that the fields are bare...


...I kind of like the look.  

Once again, it's that change of seasons.  Just about the time we get used to the way things look, the scenery changes.

This morning Daniel and Jim fenced off the two alfalfa fields you can see here. Those fields were baled several weeks ago, and have enough new growth on them to keep the cows happy.

They were happy enough that they paid no mind to the temporary electric fences...their heads were down and they were too busy eating...


...and they came back in the barn happy and content for milking this evening...


...which we certainly won't complain about!

You better believe they'll be itching to get out there again tomorrow morning!

Fall Grazing 2013

The corn and bean harvest is finished...

Rye grass has been seeded where the corn was chopped for silage, and is growing nicely...

So now it's time to let the cows out on the fields of rye grass and alfalfa for some fall grazing...




I think this will keep them happy for a while, what do you think?
