Nolan, Very sorry to hear about your loss, but I would like to know more of the circumstances. You are one of the few first hand accounts I have had of people losing animals to JG. I think it might help a lot of others on this board. In the pasture that the deaths occurred, was the grass...

Texasmark, I agree. I feel like the problems associated with JG are greatly overblown and a little common sense management goes a long way. For all of the stories I have heard about people losing cows to JG, I don't think I have ever talked to anyone first hand that lost animals to find out...

A little off topic, but how does Johnson grass stockpile? I assume better than bermuda and bahia? Does it hold its nutritional value longer? I have been stockpiling and strip grazing bermuda/bahia for a few years now over the winter, but I have to supplement protein heavy to keep condition...
