[QUOTE="redangus, post: 31897, member: 427"] It will obviously depend on the grazing pressure of your pastures, but this is what I have learned. In the late summer, have some pasture that your cattle does not have access to. For bermuda, brush hog rather closely and then fertilize 150# of ammonia nitrate in mid August. Do the same for fescue, but wait until September before you mow and fertilize. The studies I have seen in Arkansas shows 16-20% protein and at least 60% TDN on these stock piled grasses. Also, I have heard using electric fencing to allow pastures to grow. For instance, keep cattle on one end of your field where water is available. Let the cattle graze the grass till it's relatively short. Then, move the fencing back to allow them to the fresh vegetation. Repeat this process until you run out of room. The fresh vegetation will always be better than any hay you might feed...alfalfa excluded. [/QUOTE]
