[QUOTE="dun, post: 586103, member: 34"] Once your day time temps run in the 40s and the nights are close to freezing, the cool season grasses will just about quit growing. You won;t be able to notice any appriciable growth but until it really gets cold they'll grow, but SLOW. The fescue will grow slightly better then the OG and the OG slightly better then the timothy, but probably not enough to make it worth while moving the cows very often. Once the snow and ice hit, if you get any, they'll alll stop growing. The clover will stop growing very shortly unless you're getting the weird 80 degree days like we are. This time of year we typically turn them into a fairly good size field and let them eat the grass down to around 3-4 inches before we move them. Normally they wont get back to those fields until we've started feeding hay in Feb-March, alwasy subject to the whims of Ol Ma Nautre. The lespedeza has already quit here and is brown and dried out. The beauty and challenge of MIG is that everything changes constantly [/QUOTE]
