We moved the cows from the winter pasture to the new spring grasses last weekend.  Talk about happy cows!  The calves were running and stretching their legs like a bunch of kids.  They quickly devoured the small area and we moved them into a larger paddock 4 days later.  Must have been good!  We are planning on moving them down the pasture through the end of June and then back to the pasture by the pole shed by July.  That’s when we are getting a bull for a couple months from Mary Anderson- our grazing specialist.  We’ll have 4 cows to be bred so that will be 4 more calves next year.  And the year after that we can breed 8 cows.  The herd will grow quickly to our 20-25 goal.  We plan to take back the rest of the rented land in the next year or two so we have more hay fields and pasture.  They really eat ALOT!
