Harry Cope of Cope Grass Farm in Truxton, MO joined me to discuss his winter-feeding strategy of grazing standing milo. This strategy has been a game changer for his operation from the perspectives of labor, soil health, and finances. We discuss his lessons learned, strategies that have helped him be successful, and somethings he is experimenting with to make this strategy even better.

I have a really boggy area. There is some kind of “grass” clumps growing there, but the cows don’t like it and they can hardly even walk through that area. If I were to do bale grazing there, I don’t know how I would keep the bales from getting ruined. My bales are wrapped and I usually put each one up on a pallet, but I don’t even know if the tractor could place them in there safely. I have 3 cows. It takes them about a week to eat a bale.
