OK, we have a newly aquired pasture. Just finished the worst of the fencing through the low wooded boggy area(what a joy that was), gates are hung. Seeing as it is so abundant with forage yet, I would like to bring some or all the cows over there yet this year until snow. Land owner is really hoping I can as he wants to have is grazed down so he can spend time taking out any old wire, post, and whatever may be out there in the tall grass that will be exposed, thinking that it will be a greener lusher , safer, pasture next year. It is 32 acres, we have no corral built, I only have 12 cows, with calves a bull, and a few replacement heifers. Not sure how many would go yet. My question is, does any one have any advice for me as to what to do right off the bat so that I willbe able to get the cows out of there. Some are tame, some are not. If i have to I will spend the cash to build some sort of corral as I apparently have this pasture indefinatly and at no charge. I was thinking Maybe a 12'x 36', or would a little wider be better. Would I grain them daily right off the start so they get used to coming into the corral for a treat. Not sure how long fall willlast but am thinking I should be able to keep them there until mid-late november? Would cattle panels work for the corral with RR tie post evey 4', and keep the top edge at 6'? Any suggestions or advice will really appreciated, heck a picture of 6 would be even better. This pasture is adjacent to the tillable I have rented at that farm and the whole 80 will be fenced by next fall so the cattle will have the additional 48 acres of crop residue to graze after harvest.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
