Grazing corn

[perfecho]

Grazing some barley that got too nasty to combine....have a good fencer, battery dead for 2 days and only one calf had gone thru....they do learn quickly when a good fencer being used. Do think the ample moisture in the ground helps with the ground....big difference.

So for the more experienced corn grazers - are you seeing any reduction in cow longevity due to the amount of grain they are ingesting? That's one part that concerns me and I know of one guy who has quit grazing corn for that reason.

We haven't. We have had cows get into the teens having spent some time every year on corn. Ours are on the corn during the last trimester when their requirements are pretty high, so that may make a difference.
