I am renting corn stalks to be grazed by a person with pairs currently on corn stalks. My renter is unsure how well the calve will gain on stalks and if he should pull them off cows and wean them or leave them on cows. He feels cows are in good condition yet and is monitoring cows not to let them go backwards. Anyone have experience…

I have grazed cornstalks with calves at side. While never weighing before and after, I typically expect or experience little significant gain in the calves. They do drag the cows down some, but it is a long time until I calve. Little to no gain and drain on the cows are certainly valid concerns.

I have. I divided the field into one day paddocks and moved them every day to consume about 10 lbs per pair. Slowly work them up to 10 lbs. Takes cows used to, and respectful of, electric fence.

Companion planting of kohlrabi, beets and tomatoes in the high tunnel is working well. I’m thinking about planting either radish or arugula after the kohlrabi come out. The arugula might be better since radish would be another root crop. Any suggestions?

We added low cats in our high tunnel and so far it’s 10 degrees warmer under the frost cloth. Anyone else using something like this?
