The boys finished up corn silage to day. We did fill the silos but only put up two 300 foot bags rather than the usually 5-6 bags.
The cattle yards at the farm will be in use but the yards on a farm we rent will be empty this winter. That way we will not have to go there to do chores everyday.
We have calves lined up from several different suppliers. The boys will be custom feeding for a couple of fellows. I have lined up some late spring calves out of North Dakota. They will arrive in early November. Plus my own calves. That will keep me out of trouble.
My middle son picked up a few here and there to fill his yards for now. He will have to sell locally as they will finish at different times.
So we will have some cattle on feed but do not expect to make much money on them. It will get better when the idiots all go broke or their bank shuts them off.
The next thing for the cattle is getting corn stalk bales made when they are dry. That maybe an issue this fall as we seem to be cooler and wetter than the last few years have been.
I did not do much with the chopping this fall. I pulled wagons one afternoon. Trying to let the boys do their own thing without me breathing down their neck. LOL That is harder than just doing the work. LOL
