Wow! What a year we had last year. Time sure flies when you are having fun. 2009 went fast and it was a real learning experience for us. We thought we knew a lot about rotational grazing and then we had a slip up and it cost us a little bit and we learned a lot. For those who don't know we raise grass fed beef a mix of angus/holstine and poled herefords on rented land along with two draft horses. What happened Paul cut the pasture too high and they stopped eating, then it got too dry and the old stubble prevented in take. The fall was real wet we got lots of rain and we couldn't get the hay off. We were left with no alternative but to feed hay a month early. We couldn't get past the idea of having to buy hay, you buy it, you feed it, it's gone. That means the money is gone. Then Paul had a idea of fencing property we rent north of Milladore in Portage County. So we took a risk and fenced in part of our hay field. We self installed about 15 acres of fence with a lane and small corral for about $1650.00 or more in October. What a way to celebrate our birthdays by putting up fence from sun up to sun down but in about three days we could move the cows over there to extend our feeding season. Our return on the $1650.00 in fence ended up returning $60 a week to us returning $480 in two monthes. The first bale of hay we fed on that property was December 29th because we got so much rain Christmas Eve and Christmas Day that made a hard crust on top of the snow and the cows couldn't bust to get pasture. It is still a gamble because we don't own we just rent the land but we have more flexability. This spring we are going to move most of the cows there because we want to improve the land and expand the hay fields using the cows "organic matter" and keep the calves here at the farm to ween them. Another thing we had to learn about was keeping a bull. We normally artificially inseminate our cows but with them being so far from the farm we had to get a bull and it has been interesting. We keep our round bales in the pasture and just keep electrified tape around in two strands to keep the cows and horses out and we have never had any trouble with it if you keep a buffer around the hay. But that darn bull he would break it down and eat hay by himself easily losing the $60 a week we were saving. It was just disappointing how inefficient he was unlike the cows that we raised from little on. We had a really interesting year. We just wanted to share a little about us and why we do things.
