I'm in western pa. My cows are on grass I grew in August. That will end around the first of the year, then they go on corn stalks. I lay a months worth of bales out in front of them when the weather is fit ( no mud) and I divide the field with polyrope. Move the cows to fresh bales every few days on foot, flip the black plastic pipe feeders onto the next bales. And no, they don't waste as much as most claim would happen, they only get fresh bales when the previous ones are gone. The result is a field that is evenly covered with manure, tilled and mixed in by the cows. Some spots are a bit rough to chisel through, but that field will go to beans next year and they wil be the best on the farm. Water is provided by a spring development that cows have an access alley to get to it. Water flows through it and NEVER freezes completely due to the constant flow. No hogging through the mud, no starting a tractor except a few times to lay more bales out when the weather is fit. Works for me. Btw, the fields the cows are on are the only fields that see any tillage tools, we are 100% no till on the rest.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
