CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

Got my winter forage seed out yesterday....rye grass and Austrian winter peas...sowed crimson clover last year...should reseed this year....suppose to get some rain today...we'll see if it was a waste or not...LOL!!....the goats really like it...and it sure keeps the hay costs down....got some pcs cut for the nesting boxes, too....had a Full day for me....but, all the walking has my knee Screaming...even before it rains....LOL!!.....had to take one of my 'Little Pills' to get to sleep....I know many of ya are busy in preparation for the coming winter....and those colder Temps!!....Hope y'all make it thru the 'To Do List'!!!

....I know ya like pics....didn't think I still had some on my phone....but, there is....so, here are some of the winter forage from last winter....I thought it was successful....
.... ....and this was in Spring with crimson clover in full bloom.... ...a good portion of this field will be in the big common fenced area when I get that far....after the Bird bldg is finished....LOL!!!

I think the 'Dotties' found the grass seed I threw over the fence yesterday...LOL!!....but, their scratching also scatters the seed...and makes good ground 'Contact'....we'll just see if any makes it to Sprout...won't last long if it does...LOL!!!

My girls are VERY good at making sure any grass seed becomes chicken feed. Have to fence an area (small obviously) if I want to get grass growing anywhere the chickens can roam.

We bought 600 pounds of rye grass seed, got 500 pounds sowed. I'm planting it REAL thick! Winter pasture sure helps on the hay bill!

Somehow I think that works much better in SE Texas than it does in Vermont

Yeah winter and pasture don't even belong in the same sentence!

On't know bout SE Texas....but it works like a 'Champ' here in N Mississippi....if ya are 'Interested'...there is plenty of Land for sale around here...then, ya could 'See with Your Own Eyes'....but, ya do have to put up with the Heat and Humidity too!!...my Fridge and Freezer space is in a Box....not outside behind some rock....til Spring....LOL!!....ya just have to 'Use' what ya Have to your 'Advantage'....whenever Possible...plus, you have many more Predators to be concerned with than we do...and we have the 'Parasites'....Thriving here...however, I do 'Salute' the 'Herd Members' that are facing the winter's 'Onslaught'...even though I was a young'un...I remember the 2 Winters I lived in Maine...we moved there from Hawaii....now, That is a 'Culture and Climate Shock' that would be very Difficult to 'Forget'...we went to Mississippi from Maine....I've held on to the South ever since....some really Good people up There....Beautiful and very Senic...for Sure!!....it is Definitely the Weather that keeps me 'Clinging' to the South....sincerely...I wish All WELL and Hope ya can Dodge the Storms!!
