[QUOTE="bmoore87, post: 1356259, member: 21684"] With the newer combines there is usually not much corn left behind to let a good volunteer stand com up. If you are broad cast seeding I would wait until they have most of the leaves gone and then plant it a week or so before you pull them if you want to get it in earlier. They can graze free choice until corn and husks are gone with no feed. After that we supplement some gluten or corn until only stalks are left to help hold condition. With newer corn varieties the stalks are about like eating wood and most cows won't eat to much of them. If this is first year cows are on corn I would not put out hay until running out of leaves otherwise they might eat only ears and husks then go to hay. [/QUOTE]
