The Fescue pasture is taken out of the rotation at weaning time and stockpiled for the coming winter. In a good year this field isn't grazed until December. If pasture growth gets ahead of the lambs, I move them to the next paddock and bring the ewes back, temporarily, to clean up the excess. There are three small scrubby paddocks of former pasture. I rotate the rams rotate through these areas during the grazing season.
Any hay made on the farm is done by a neighbour on a custom basis.
Whatever other hay is required for the winter is bought in. I do have a sickle mower that I use to top clip pastures for weed control, or to keep the swards vegetative if growth gets ahead of me. I have a David Brown 880 loader tractor that I use mainly for blowing snow in the winter, and for placing round bales in the fields in the fall. I have a small fertilizer spreader that mounts on the back of the tractor. The seeding of my improved pastures was all done by my neighbour.
