Video: Feeding Hay in the Snow, Then Back to Grass | Winter Grazing Update

I share a cattle herd update after feeding hay during the worst of a winter snowstorm. With the weather improving, we’re able to move the cows back onto grass and continue grazing.

I also briefly talk about a mistake I made when planning our grazing rotation and what I learned from it. Adjusting plans and learning as we go is part of managing cattle in a low-stress, practical system.
