Thanks so much! 😊

I’m sold on bale grazing. Done it for over 10 years now. It has improved our pastures significantly. The only thing we do differently is we only give them two days worth at a time. Helps clean up a little better. But still leaves some behind. The growth is amazing, still see a difference after 10 years where we started and patches we missed.

All I get is weeds. Lol. Lost a tonne of acres of pasture where I feed. The residue chokes out the grass

@@wallyyuriy8912 that’s too bad. Works well in my climate up here. I’m a firm believer. We have some alkali areas that now support thick stands of grass that were just salt flats years ago. But it works well on our good land as well. We make them clean up pretty good by moving every two days though. Most of the residual is manure, very little hay. But we use very good hay with some straw for filler on the second day in our rows.

@@chadtosh6831 I’ve tried it all. Feed thin, feed it in small piles so just there heads at it. No dice. Now I feed on crop fields that get a spray application.

As a non-farmer I really appreciate it when Matty explains the how's & why's of managing livestock and running the enterprise. Perfect mix of humor and information.

It will be interesting to see the grass develop in the bale grazing areas. Have you ever done before and after soil tests?

We have really bumps up organic matter stay tuned thanks for the comment

I am looking forward to following along with how the bale grazing affects the ground. It is something I've thought about doing

Love it

It would be hard to count that many coming through a wide gap!! 😂

I always thought the stuff coming out the back of the cow was the fertilizer. The stuff going in the front of the cow is expensive. Therefore I prefer to get as much of the expensive stuff into the cow so she can process it and then deposit the fertilizer. If hay was supposed to be fertilizer no cows are required.😁😁There....let the rage begin. I do enjoy your channel... in spite of this horrific bale grazing idea😂😂.

Thanks for the comment. It all depends on how you figure I like to use low quality/cheaper hay for bale grazing. Then depending on what you value organic matter and residual fertility I can almost say my hay is free. I agree good hay should not be used for bale grazing👍

I know it’s more of a chore rolling out hay every day but more controlled on hay intake. Have you figured out the difference in hay bales consumed per day. Bale grazing vs. unrolling. ?

👍

most of these hill tops or ridges, top soil blew away in the 30's. I bet the organic matter put back on these ridge tops will go through the roof. Great for the soil. Great idea.

Thanks it usually does

I get cold in Wisconsin too and get my beefers by on 20-25 lbs of hay per day per cow. Might have to push 30 if it gets real cold. What do you figure you feed yours?

If your neighbors start giving you a bad time about what your bale grazing looks like just tell them your worried about the guy in the mirror that’s all lol looks good to me

Opinions are like assholes everybody has one. Nobody knows the land like the guy who farms or ranches it.....

How do you keep the strings on the bales from making a mess? Do you remove them before you put them out or use some special kind of string?

@Ranchingsodak

We use sisal twine which is completely biodegradable so no mess is left behind. If you would use plastic or net wrap you would want to pick that all up. Thanks for the question

I’m a lefty. Somehow lose the right glove on every pair

im with you on losing those left hand gloves. haha..now i try to wear knit roping gloves when its not real cold, then it doesn't matter cause they fit either hand.
