On a much more serious note ?? If you did cut hay..and bale it... the calves wouldnt need protein ! Make the grass vegetative....... give the calves something to eat ! The cows have nothing......nor do the calves ! How on earth does someone expect grass to grow if its never cut / grazed off ??? A lot like a timber.......all old growth......no new growth ! True.....if your cheap........give it up !
@@JimHerman-o3q I understand all your points, they are valid but that’s just not how I want to go about it. I’m trying to graze in a very high density, so for that to happen I need a lot of dry matter per acre. When my land is cut and regrows, it won’t be as thick as before. Some day it will get there and everything will be in a vegetive state. Also on the cow side, they are actually doing better than I expected, I hate having to buy protein but they are doing very for the conditions they have.
They’re looking good!
Sinking them ??? Takes a lot of water to drown a cow !!!!!!!

Actually if you graze to
Remain vegetive you will ruin your diversity every plant needs to mature and produce seed to maintain a population
