A little something we still do here to save on hay. We have many acres of lush grass and good forage but not fenced for the cow and can not get the tractor in to cut and bale. Purchased a mower wit a bagging system an now no grass goes to waste and hay can stay in the barn while the cow eats like a queen.

With a moo moo here and a moo moo there, here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo.

Sounds like a good idea Ron. We use an electric fence so our cows are do the lawn moo-ing for us too.

So many trees here it is a toughie to cross fence but on my list to do. Used to have Icelandic sheep here with the vision of them keeping things nibbled down bout they kept going everywhere but where I wanted. Again a good fence would have taken care of it too. For this year I I have been the grass delivery man. The one time the cow got let out she went right for the kale garden. :)
