[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 588097, member: 1715"] Easiest way to plan forage by time period is to get a forage specific growth curve for your area. They usually have pounds dry matter per acre per year (if it rains...) and % of the pounds by month (if it rains...). This gives you a general guide. Best way to estimate actual forage available is to measure with a rising plate. Sticks work also but they are much less accurate. An expensive way to extend your grazing season - spring and fall - is to apply some N. The N producing soil biology shuts down when the soil is cool, so even if you have plenty of sun light there is very little growth. [/QUOTE]
