Our corn crop was not great this year, because of all the rain that we had! So, when the crops are bad we have to improvise!! We put a fence around the corn field and put our beef cows out to eat to their heartsā delights! After that, we headed back to the log job to haul more logs down to the road for our trucker with our Percheron Draft Horses, Ken & Buck.
We now have WINTER HATS for sale!! Check them out on our website! āŗ https://www.workinghorseswithjim.com/shop

Have you ever given any thought to installing some kind of underground drain system to take care of the excess water problem? I've seen other farmers on YouTube to that and it seemed to work well for them.
Yes strong boys, boy that's some nice firewood, and I bet alot of that is hard Maple which will put out some serious btus, good heat for the winter. Regarding the corn field, I was disappointed to hear you lost so much to excess rain and the coon dogs on a bear this fall. I was thinking about your silos and corn silage to blow some corn silage or.. to just fence off half of the field and let better half dry for the corn crib, but…lookes like the patches of stunted growth are scattered a bit, but i'd try to save a quarter of it anyways, might be able to dry some corn in the kiln a few doz cobs for treates.
Wish I was there to hand pick some for you, that is how we did it by hand..but I was wondering if you ever use your silos anymore. I always enjoyed the unique smell of differant types of spoilage and such. Amazing stuff. I hope those cattle do not over eat themselves to death, I suppose being outside that should help, they are on the move, I guess we'll see how it goes, nice fence you pulled along the corn field Jim. I remember an earlier video showing the corn looking nice up top so I was surprised when I learned of the bad corn, just to see that, brought back some bad memories of bad years, but I remember the good years too, corn growing to the stars…
Maiz grazing has been done by some Beef producers in parts of Western Canada and as far as I know it works very well but they padock graze it though. Awesome video as always
Great salvage of the corn
Hi all , yep some times you got to make up your mind about things , the cattle should do good on the corn š½, so will oubuy in corn for your winter feeding , ok have a good weekend , God bless your farm and family
I love cattle too, Brenda! Would love to see more of them in your videos. Thanks š
from us in northern Italy was a very bad year because of the drought I lost almost 60% of the corn crop
That damage was caused by wildboars, we have the same problems on our corn fields here in Germany .
Very nice video as a usual!
Greetings from Germany
Oh yes, definitely fatten the livestock on the standing hay or corn you can't get cut. Exactly what my father would have done, so it must be right! Of course you're also right to keep horses out of the corn, they'd founder in a minute.
Very Nice..!
Do they eat the whole corn plant or just certain bits of it?
Sounds like good old fashioned farmer ingenuity š½ I tell you, farmers are smarter than most anybody else! I mean that sincerely. I'm college educated, and I learned more wisdom from farmers than from any of my college professors. That's just the truth.
Looking forward to the new calendars etc. And as always, I enjoyed this video šš
Maybe Linda maybe lady likes men better than she likes women sorry Brenda
Jim love your channel but asking for my input after making your decision is baffling. The cows are already in the corn . Hauling the corn to the cows (silage ) or having the cows walk to the corn is almost the same thing . Please show us what is left after the cows are done munching it down . Will you brush cut corn stubble and then plow down ?
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO THE FRYEBURG FAIR HERE IN WESTERN MAINE?
Great idea
My thought is they would waste less if it was divided up into a few paddocks. When one is cleaned up move to next.
Hello Jim and Brenda I would think the cows would knock down to much my opinion. If you have a harvester blow it on a wagon feed to them. It's your place you know best. Thanks video have a great day.
I sure do miss your intro music š¢ but I still enjoy all your videos and the Newsletter. The cows in the cornfield is an awesome idea. They sure look happy! God Bless you Jim and Brenda!
The cows will clean it all up
Tough to grow corn with out controlling the weeds need to spray
Nice improvisation I think the cattle are happy. ā¤ļø
I am always struck by how you both are so ingenious and resourceful. Your young cattle look happy in the cornfield. I love the way you talk to the horses, Brenda. Nice video.
Great video both really enjoyed watching and listening ,do you know what type of corn you used? And did your neighbours have the same problem? Just thought its worth a mention, im from the uk and planted an early variety (on a small scale) and had good results. Keep up the good work and see you in the next video,
I've grazed standing corn with a movable front wire to make the feed last longer and get better graze down of everything. Cattle also do a nice job of cleaning up parts of the garden like green bean hard hulls and vines we have climbing on hog/welded wire panels. They pick em clean and then panels are ready to store until next year. Thanks for your channel.
Smart way to harvest the corn that's poor crop.
A suggestion if buck needs his teeth floated. š¬ he was some holding his mouth open.
Do you not worry about the nitrate levels in the corn stocks killing the cows?
Almost to 60k. Probably already there by now
Go through and cut down 2 or 3 rows over a ways and devide in to paddock like sections, put in fence wire and they will clean up better. Then move them on to next. Just a thought. Be safe and be careful
WET??? it's so dry here nobody has hay for the livestock and the prices have doubled. Walter has hurt all farming and ranching
Nothing wrong with letting them in on the corn while it's nice and young. You have plenty of other feed and like you say it will have a lot of manure on it. I was wondering about cutting that new seeding so late, maybe your season is long and you will get a good regrowth.
What a lucky guy Jim!
Get to drive a beautiful team of horses and a beautiful gal at your side.
I would give them strips instead if the whole thing so they would clean it up better but if it works for you. . .
Hello. Lovely video that you present. I whatcht your loggning procec and I would like to tell you that there are horce wagons for Tim er with smal timber crains on them. Ive sean this here in sweden and on you tube.

Absolutly amazing animals…..
Iām really enjoying your videos. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøšØš¦šØš¦šØš¦šØš¦
Yes definitely us the failed crop to the fullest.
Those cattle are going to eat nomatter what.
We've never grazed corn but I learned about it at a grazing course. It's quite economical and highly recommended
I love this kind of horses very much. But these kind of horses are less to be seen here in Germany. Best wishes from germany. Please watch our 5 year old Arabian grazing the green grass of the day after this hot summer.
