Hey @Adam4Bent Here's your yearly delivery of manure! Give @Shea_8 and I maybe a month and a half, and we'll have it all spread for you ok? 😂 #CowsGrazingCoverCrops Sustainable beef and crop production right here.

Brought the cows home today across the new hay seeding. 60 days on cover crops and corn residue is our best year yet. Fairly minimal supplemental feed. If we can get some winter waterbowls set up, it would be nice to go into January. @Shea_8

Munch munch. Continuing to stretch the grazing season with cover crops. No mud, no manure spreading, no tractors. Cows doing what they like to do out in the field. Just peace and quiet - and a bit of snow. #ontag

What I think is a maximized acre in #ontag Winter wheat provided cover last winter, grew wheat for milling, straw for livestock bedding this summer, & now growing a cover crop & grazing cows. Soil is covered, growing living roots, providing extended feed, reducing env footprint

Planning our 2020 grazing cover mix for beef cows following winter wheat this year. Last year's mix: 25 lbs Oats (rusts) 25 lbs Barley 1 lb Purple Top Turnips 2 lbs Daikon Radish 1 lb Hybrid Brassica 2-3 lbs Crimson Clover Maybe try Spring Triticale in place of oats, thoughts?

Marie and I are very excited to announce that we'll now be attending @PtboRFM in downtown PTBO starting this Saturday at the Peterborough Square. It was a tough decision to make the move, but we feel it was best for us. I would encourage everyone to come see us there! @Shea_8
