    Yup, we're cutting pipelines and an old neglected field that was disced twice and left. Rough going, but lots of feed there, although some of it is built up trash - probably kept the soil moist though. Will most likely be the best yield of all the fields. Lots of bales moving off the fields here in hopes of getting another cut. I don't know............. :|

      I only rent one small pasture and it is per head per day and reasonable and have had to move cows out, I will try to make something work for his rent. Most have went to a flat rate per pasture here for the summer. Sky high rents, landlords are trying to get guys to pull their cows as there is nothing left and renters have nowhere to put them and have paid for "the season". Its a mess either way.

        How much is the rate there ,I charge $1 per day and I look after fences,and rotate cows around some are 1.10 to 1.25/day.
        Community pasture is at $25/month I think.

          I'm only paying $1 also but I've heard rates as high as $2.30. Like I said lots are a flat rate that work back to the higher end of that range on a good year, so will be huge this year on a daily basis.

            We had an open herd law from November 15 to March 15, I used it all the time, I always brought the cows home before dark and let them go a little before noon. It was closed probably 15 years ago.
