Green Pastures in October? Each fall we let the cows into the meadow behind the barn. We have taken two cuts of hay off of it and we let the girls get the third. To get the most out of the grass, every other day Krys moves the fence forward 20 feet or so. This is called strip grazing. The cows do a great job and we save fuel and feed by letting them do the mowing. In the future we hope do do more strip grazing in our pastures, but it takes a lot of time and careful planning of water tubs and fencing.
