We

are now benefitting from wonderful spring rain, a temperate climate and lots of rest time for our pastures. The forage is thick with endophyte-free fescue, ladino white clover and lespedeza. By recently selling our bred cows we now have custom graz- ing available for stockers or cows. Our paddock sizes range from as little as 5 acres up to 45 acres. Each has good, clean, cool well-water piped into concrete troughs. As seen in the accompanying images, all pastures have 2-ton capacity protein supplement sheds that consist of 2/3 dried distillers grains and 1/3 salt. Cattle will be rotated when 1/3 of the forage canopy has been grazed and 2/3 remains. Since we background our own stockers we have the capability to help manage outside cattle in addition to ours. Facilities include a covered cattle barn with sprinklers, fly control system and large fans. In addtion, we have electronic weighing scales and easy access lots for hospital, and recovery patients. We are charging $.75/lb. gain for 6 month grazing contracts for stocker cattle. We also custom graze broodcows and/or cow-calf pairs. Grazing contracts for these cattle are also 6 months and the charge is $12/head (or pair) per month. Please call, blog or e-mail with questions or interest.
