Phillip, I have never seen hay or straw used for bedding. It is obvious that it helps a lot in keeping your cattle clean but isn't it expensive? Doesn't it make it so that you can't pump the manure? How do you handle and manage it?
 
Angus cow/calf,and I finish the calves out. We milked cows until 14 years ago. Dad and grand dad milked here before me.
 
Straw does cost $$$ but so does fertilizer. Straw is
worth about .04 cents a pound as fert. And adds
tilth to the soil. Last year I grew 55 acres of spring
grain and 35 acres of silage corn, had good crops ,
and bought no fertilizer. So I don't see straw
bedding as expensive, and you can grow it on the
farm, unlike sawdust or shavings. Bruce
 
Did they bring the cows in or getting ready to haul some out? I raise some beef cattle,your area looks a lot different than here next to the Blue Ridge Mountains in VA.
 
Looks like this operation. 280 momma cows and will end up with about 1000 head of calves to back ground. Preg checking on Thursday if you wanna bring horses.
 

60 head of Angus black/whiteface mix beef cows.
No horses, roundup is with a bucket of feed on the back of my 4wheeler.

Pretty country in those first photos.
 
I'm just a hobby farmer when it comes to cattle. A few cows and calves and a bull. Never more than a dozen or so. Keeps me busy through the winter.

I fatten out a few heifers every year, from 16 to 24 depending on market. Mostly black cows, sometimes a white face or two in the crowd.
 
Pretty good Phillip D. As usual first time doing it and found several things I'll do different next year if it works out well this go around. I did just make the pile on the ground and didn't use anything for walls. The pile ended up not being as big as I thought it would be but then I didn't really know what to expect either as far as how big it would be.
 
No cows right now but 1 holstein bull calf for the freezer. 20 years ago we had 100 head between holstein and guernsey dairy cattle and beef calves on feed.
 
Cows here in S Dakota.Trying to upload a photo will see if it works never done it before.Nice looking bay you got there.The picture was this spring kind of snow covered now.

Liner is booked to take our calves to the auction next weekend.
Hoping prices will hold for another week.
Weather has been decent but there is just enough snow on the ground that I had to shred out bales for the cows for the first time this year today.
 
Nice. Couple of those pics would make good post cards! In the forth pic your horse looks to be enjoying the scenery too!My dad,son and I run angus cows with either angus or hereford bulls.Around 275 hd.
 
I have wanted to ask this very question for a while now. I run a few. I have 85 cows, and background 2 groups of 75 steers per year. Tiedown calf rope and team rope, but do very little with the cows horseback. Calf tables and squeeze chutes except for the first round of shots, we still drag for those.
