[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1731812, member: 1715"] Some dairies plant grazing corn weekly during the spring and the first half of the summer. Great feed for a stein, too expensive for profitable beef cows. So, you need to use annuals where they replace more expensive stored feed for cows, or to pop grass yearlings right before you sell them in late summer, or to allow perennials to stockpile (thus replacing hay later). The grazing utilization math gets semi interesting for late summer annuals. It is reasonable to more than double your utilization grazing green vs. grazing brown. Some soil building gurus like to brag about how little they take when grazing brown - - but their cows are not able nor willing to utilize more of the leafless lodged lignin. [/QUOTE]
