Sunday morning for me was not as exciting as Thursday morning for @ccc23454 as I only ran into these three guys (or gals). I hope they stay out of the neighbor’s hayfield.

First cutting alfalfa always makes me nervous

My cousins got 3 so far. Farm north of them got 26 last year. They all like to blame the wolves (dont get me wrong they need a season as well) but I wonder how much damage has been done since switching to discbines....

It’s impossible. In a little 20 acre patch of alfalfa, I kicked up 2 different ones and ate one with the discbine. It’s a timing thing. When our alfalfa is at optimal bloom, it always times out with does dropping fawns. The best thing for saving fawns is a rainy forecast. If it gets wet and first cutting gets pushed back a week or so, a lot of fawns get born and get their legs underneath them and can react instead of ending up in a windrow.

Also, discbines don’t help out any, but I can remember running lots of fawns through the old sickle drive haybines as well.

For sure. I feel like maybe not as many but to be the devils advocate at least they didnt feel anything with the discbine. The haybine could be a gut wrenching experience at times.

It’s happened to me many times over the years. It never gets easier. I always feel like the worlds biggest POS when it happens.

Can you spot the bedded antelope buck?

Easier to spot @ high elevation.

This was the highway between baker and miles city. Can see it ran completely across the road at one point. That’s just the ditch with the water running in it. Not a creek. They got WAY more than we did
