[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1769786, member: 8359"] For my area around Dallas, Ellis, Hunt counties, always a day in Feb 20th-28th marks the first day of full on grazing (no feed)...and cattle on their own after that. They either eat the first greens/weeds or go hungry. All grasses and plants start hammering well by March 15th so it's important to get them to eat and trim down those fast growing weeds two to three weeks before, else the pasture will not do as well. I haven't been able to lock-down the end-date to grazing due to droughts and not being able to stockpile forage as much as i wished....which might be a good thing....cause I'm now seeking to graze year round and supplement/experiment with other types of bulk feed. I'm having successful cost-saving victories over hay..it's challenging but i'm loven it. Maybe next year if hay costs come down I'll move back over to hay...but right now, I'm kicking butt without hay. Processed grains are less expensive. [/QUOTE]
