[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1327828, member: 24565"] White clovers here and in GA act as perennials. In severe weather they can also return from seed but normally will dry up and wait for rain. Get down and take a look at what you cut for hay at 1", 2", 3", 4" ... and ask yourself 1- will the animals eat this and do well & 2- If I were buying hay would I want to see this in the bales. There is a huge difference in quality and quantity. Like silage, corn used to be cut close and then studies proved that the bottom 18" wasn't worth hauling to the silo because the cows did little from eating it. As dry as we are right now if the fescue was cut to less than 4" it will knock it in the head. [/QUOTE]
