Timothy will establish fairly easily here in west central NJ. However, there is a mite that is attacking the stands and thinning them out, so I'd be inclined to plant brome, orchardgrass or fescue. You can really push orchardgrass on fertile ground, if you need a lot of hay. As far as getting it started, you can plant oats in the spring and seed the orchardgrass in with them, mow the oats right before they head and bale them as hay for your steers, and then let the orchardgrass grow.

I know what you were askimg for and I don't think it was a scolding. The twines will be a little loose while the bales are in the bale case. The weight is regulated by the two big spring/screw asemblies at the back of the bale case. Steers love clover hay but it's hard to get dry enough to safely bale. Grass is fine for steers and a little easier for a beginner. An endophyte free Fescue should establish fairly easy and yeild well in NJ. Timothy is nice stuff, but takes longer to establish. Best of luck, I have a 66 that I've basicly rebuilt if some one is looking it's for sale $600.00

Duane, class answer. Some of us type and spell better than others. Question? Someone asked me last night if I had heard how Mr. Grant Weston is doing since his accident. We got a letter from him while he was recovering at home. It must be tough to live with one hand and he lost both! I remember he said that he was anticipating getting his artificial hands. One thing that he especially missed was being able to zip his own pants. Wow, the stuff we take for granted!

Grant is doing well and is still farming (raising heifers) I owe all of you an update and hope to provide a post soon. Just got on-line at home, so I look forward to spending more time writing. At work I only have time to read. Grant has two artifical "arms" that have curved pinchers on the end for hands. The doctors are still adjusting them to improve what dextarity he has. Everyone marvels at his determination. Outwardly, he remains in high spirits as he has been since the accident. I'm sure his struggles are deeper than any of us could or would imagine.

I'm no english teacher but the spelling/grammer/typos make this post difficult to respond to. Before you post the message this site allows you to proof read what you typed. That said, if you started with an empty baler chamber, that could explain missed ties and loose bales initially. Continue to run hay/straw through the machine, they should tighten up some. Then work on bale tensioning adjustments. By the way. What are stears?

in response to like-to-help steers not stears are bulls with their testicals removed. this keeps the calve from producing testosterone which will cause the meat to be tuff and stringy if the testicals are not removed. steers bring more money at the livestock sells and r easier to work with than bulls. iam not sure whither u already know this but i thought i would tell u if u didnt already know.
