Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

Got 2 ibc water totes. One got cut up as a square bale feeder, One I'm going to use to pickup bulk cattle cubes I think and maybe some lime as I need to start dealing w/ my pasture quality. Pick up P&K tommorow.
Lime was an issue as their spreader is PTO and rear hydraulic driven and I only have PTO on my tractor. But only doing 4 acres. I do have a 200lb tow behind spreader for my mower. Giant waste of time but I might just accept spending a lot of time doing one strip at a time and refilling doing that.

Come spring bring on the nitrogen.


Also got a big steel feeder like this but just a little shorter for a single bale for the cows this winter. Need to get it painted first though.

900 lbs of P&k. Really didn't look like much at the bottom of this buggy and went quick. $330 really hoping to see a difference in the spring.

plan to get about 6 tons of lime soon if we can borrow a tractor with rear hydraulic as mine is just pto and the spreader needs it. Funny it's only $35/ ton but biggest expense is just trying to get it down. You can do bagged but then it's $7/50lb lol

Nitrogen in the spring, which i fear the cost of. But honestly then I'll have a pretty lush property that maintains for Good while lightly grazed. Just got to pray for continued dry winter before spring , because with spring rains my pasture turns to swamp and even mud tire trucks get stuck.
