Supplementing fall pastures
The cool days of fall are upon us and the grass is still growing, but very slowly. We recently set out some hay rings and are starting to feed some haylage to make sure the cows have enough to eat. We love opening the bales and smelling the sweet scent of good haylage. The cows absolutely love it and are eating it up almost as fast as we can lug it to them.
Waiting for someone to bring her some sweet haylage...
While recent rainy weather has helped wash nutrients from the wood ash into the ground, it’s also making high traffic areas of the pasture quite muddy. We’re hoping for some sunny weather soon for our farm, and also for area potato farmers who are trying to finish their potato harvest.
