They hay and graze off of fields that arc planted to mixtures of clover, timothy, alfalfa, soybeans, rye, triticale, oats, tall fescue, matua, orchard grass, etc., to set up a rotating system whereby they can put their cattle out during most of the year in pasture. The two also have a situation where their farm has a number of springs that have been manipu lated to serve as watering sources for the different pastures. To reduce erosion and stream bank degradation, they have cemented sections into a trough and restricted the cows’ ability to walk into it by using a fence set with top strand “hot” wire and bot tom strand “dead” wire. It allows the cows to easily get at the water to drink and keeps the trough Front Mountain Road, Bel leville. Sherman Click, owner. Bryan D Imes, auct.

According to Axel, the cows use almost the entire acreage of the 140-acre farm. The savings comes from reduced manure hauling, lower feed costs and lower harvesting costs. The farm was designed for graz ing since, 1956 when their father had it. There is more to the feeding, however, than merely allowing the cows to graze. Constant considera tion of potential for digestive prob lems, and other problems asso ciated with pasturing are compen sated for by feeding strategy and providing additional protein sour ces in the winter. During the sum mer getting top dressing for the high producers that isn’t as high in protein, because the cows are already getting enough. However, both Millie and Axel said that they have learned to use the different forages, and use test ing, to have a nutritionally com plete feed program with which they can work.
