[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 854205, member: 7795"] It's not unlike "instant gratification"...Pay now or pay later....Of course the cows will benefit eating the little green grass.......but it comes with a cost which is the health you grass, next years green grass...... We are approaching the end of a growing season when plants should be preparing to go into dormancy....ant and grasshopper mode...storing up for winter (in the roots). Without green tops, photosynthesis cant take place, the grass uses it's stored reserves in the roots......weakens the plant during cold winters.......So if you sacrifice now, (I know it's not a concept that is understood today) your grass will be better off next year... and after frost you can still have the tops to graze. Now of course, it it's an annual grass this concept is moot. [/QUOTE]
