2010年5月15日 · For us, pastures are planned for the horses first, the cows are secondary users because the horses can't eat enough grass to keep it mowed down. I did what was suggested for improving the grazing, with fertilizing, some seeding of bare areas, but the main change was the mowing when pasture got up about 8-10 inches tall.

2011年7月24日 · Yes cattle can eat soybeans, but feeding them to cattle alone is like putting them in an alfalfa pasture when they're hungry. (edit: not to mention other issues that RedTailGal posted below.) I suggest that if you want to feed grain to your cattle, buy it. Use the land for hay and pasture only. Use whatever grain that is available.

2011年8月11日 · Clover is great and can be fed in large amounts with no harm. Alfalfa can cause gas problems if fed green in too large amounts. I grow red clover and broadleaf chicory and feed it green every day. It saves a lot of money on pellets. The only caveat on clover is not to gather it from a lawn unless you know that lawn has not been treated with ...

2010年2月16日 · So they get the "trash" that the cattle dont like. It works good. The goats pic out the "trash" and thrive on it, but leaving the stemmy hard to chew stuff that the cattle like.....so I throw the "trash that the goats wont eat from the trash that …

2009年7月16日 · Matter of fact, my hay guy has 5'x6' round bales of "grass" hay that are just as I described -- about 50/50 clover and grass -- for a mere $25 a bale.. I'm thinking that instead of stacking bale after bale of expensive squares in the loft, I'll be buying maybe three of those and actually putting them in the barn, free choice, for this winter's ...

2010年12月8日 · OK so the girls and Plato liked the red clover. Socrates did not. But then again, Socrates does not like anything accept Noble Goat grain. PERIOD. well, he enjoys eating my hair, but that doesnt count. He made horrible faces at the clover. He is so persnickety. He watches the cows eat their hay, and I think it grosses him out.

2010年1月1日 · I was thinking of trying clover hay for my goats, but a friend told me she thought red clover was poisonous to sheep but she didn't know why. I've got a ewe lamb living with my goats, so I need to know if clover hay would be a problem for her. Various places online say grazing on clover causes...

2012年10月5日 · For these 4 DH's plan would work great. Obviously hay ground can always become pasture and vice a versa. His thoughts are horses even rotated are terrible at "properly" using pasture ground therefore hay fields. We are have a 3.5 acre field that's ready to be planted this fall yet, will be a clover/orchard grass mix.
