Rotational Grazing
These cattle rotate to a new paddock every day each one being about the size of a subdivision plot.
Creep Grazing into November
Creep grazing is in full swing at Fischer Farms. We have 280 acres of ryegrass that we planted in September and in some places is 16” high already.
Grazing / Silage Research... and... Sunflowers??
We have been doing research over the past couple weeks on different grasses and their silage nutritional value.
Planting Ryegrass by Sunset Light
A less stressful week this week catching up on to-do's from last week. We're keeping the drill (ryegrass seed planter) running most daylight hours to get as much planted as we can before the rain comes so it gets good growth before the cold hits. Every day counts!
New Butchering Facility
We have officially broke ground on our new processing facility with Sander Processing
Good Bugs
In farming there are good bugs and bad bugs. Good bacteria run the fermentation process to turn a grass or corn plant into a stable good quality feed for the cattle. Similar to sauerkraut or kimchi. This year we are adding extra good bugs/bacteria to the silage as we harvest.
Sorghum Sudangrass Grazing
This group of mother cows and calves were happy to move into this sorghum sudangrass field this week.
