Wow the hate for fescue!!
It’s the only thing that doesn’t shut down during then heat and rapidly recovers when moisture shows up!when brome and orchard shut down they are done on the clay hills!
I’d hate to see it farmed just to end up in a government program.
I’d probably be finding some nice heifers and throw a bull with them for the summer and sell next winter.
You could run 40-70 head depending how long you want the graze to last and how much supplement you want to give.
Steers would allow you to not have winter chores but take some time to put together to get them bought right.
Sorry. But, 75 acres of KY 31 fescue isn’t going to run 40-70 hd of heifers without a creep feeder at 5-10 #/day |
If you had 75 acres of grass…
