We haven't had an issue with deer,
although I am concerned as there are Elk
not too far south of us now.
GF- I guess it depends on what the plan
is for your operation and how often
people feel they need to run out and
check cows. It does save a lot of
tractor time for us. The bales are
trucked in (off site nutrients coming
in) and are dumped around the area we
plan to bale graze. Total set our time
last year was 6 1/2 hours for 180 cows
and 150 backgrounders. That saves us a
lot of time and risk of an older tractor
not starting. We move fence with our
mini-truck so fuel and truck investment
is pretty small. I do agree though that
there are a lot of approaches and some
may not always save $$$.
