  
When we say forage fed, this is what we're talking about. The first
three pictures show some of this year's calves in a sorghum field
where they were turned out to graze in late summer. The bottom left
picture shows a close-up of the sorghum, which is actually a grass,
grasshopper and all. The last two are of Neil and Daniel putting up
hay for winter feed.. The bermuda-grass field is right next to where
the calves had been turned out to graze. We cut over 50 additional
acres of sorghum for silage to supplement our pastures through the
winter. Of course, nothing's as green right now as in these
pictures. It's been a pretty dry end of the summer and things are
turning brown. That's one of the challenges of the cattle business.
Mother Nature doesn't always cooperate.
