A Few Hours Off the Farm

5_heifers

These girls were enjoying their lunch of radishes and annual ryegrass.

I’m on the board of the state forage council, which means I get to spend a lot of time at a lot of farms. Today I was in Goochland County, visiting some cover crop plots, and the cows that graze them. These girls are grazing winter annuals, plants that are seeded in late summer, and provide high quality feed until the winter, when they’ll graze through most of the winter on Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue. By providing quality forages to cattle, we can reduce our feed costs, our labor costs and minimize the impact on the land since the soil is always covered.
