[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 757502, member: 7509"] Your last picture is more like what we northerners are used to looking at as ready to graze. I have been told by a county agent that grass as tall as your earlier picture showing seed heads is past its best grazing period. This is what Jeanne is referring to. A couple years ago this WI county agent did pasture evaluations and saw mine looking like your initial picture above. I thought it was great. She said to mow it. In the end she was right for the north. However knowing about your drought conditions at certain times, tall, over-ripe forage gone to seed is better than no forage at all. I think we need to keep in mind you are in NC we are in NY, WI and points north. Very different conditions. I am also curious about year round calving. Why do you do that. Around here having calves in Jan and Feb is a disaster if you outwinter as I do. Thanks for the pictures. Jim [/QUOTE]
