Spring on the Farm

Cows are enjoying the spring sunshine as they pick at the winter grasses. For the next couple weeks, our cows are penned with hay bales and prevented from roaming the pastures due to over seeding our fields in preparation for summer. The hay is from last years harvest and has been the steers food for the winter. Over seeding our fields is a necessity as our farm is still growing and we are trying to have the most luscious green fields with healthy grass for our animals. Many hours are spent during the summer mowing the weeds and letting the grass grow to provide the most nutrient rich area for our cows to graze as the grass is their sole food source.
