[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 215938, member: 539"] We've grazed our cows on volunteer barley over the winter and they did fine, but it wasn't headed out. The biggest problem I see with your plan is that, depending on what part of the summer you're planning on putting the cows into this field, the wheat will probably be headed out and close to being ready for harvesting. Under those circumstances you don't want to use wheat because of the beards (they will make the cow's mouth sore) and whole wheat is not an acceptable feed for cattle - it can cause problems. I think barley will do the same thing, I'm not sure about oats. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
