Spring fever….

….a group of Thistle Hill yearling heifers camped out by the electric wire, convinced that the grass is indeed greener.  They’ll have to wait a few more weeks, though, before we begin their rotation.  Right now, they’re still being fed hay and a little beet pulp.

In fact, the grass closest to the camera isn’t where they’ll really be going.  We’ll start them farther out in the field, where we left a good supply of residual grass last fall.  They’ll begin on the fresh grass right after the first of April and be back to this point about mid-May.

We’ll also be starting the main herd across the road about the same time.
