[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 769006, member: 6543"] I don't understand the comments on Orchardgrass. around here the problem is that if continuous grazed the livestock will stand over the orchdgrass and wait for it to put out new shoots. thus the livestock by preferring the OG select against it making it hard to maintain in a mixed grass stand. Orchardgrass does not stockpile as well as fescue and does not persist into the winter as well but it is an excellent high quality forage. I would say better suited to a hay crop than a pasture crop to get persistence. I am hoping that by converting to MIG grazing rather than rotational grazing that I can increase the OG in my pastures as well as some other species. [/QUOTE]
