[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 863976, member: 4362"] Good question. In our area we can grow a pile of grass but after about 30-40 days the feed value of the grass goes to zilch due to the leaching effect of the rains. If we could stockpile grass you'd never have to roll hay but stockpiled grass here requires a lot of supplement and its cheaper (imo) to harvest the excess when its in its prime and keep the fields producing higher quality grass to get the better yields. During the summer months most everyone is understocked and the lure of more cattle always tempts you but when winter comes its either too hot for ryegrass and clover to grow at its peak or its too dry to get it to grow. Its a strange set of circumstances. If only we could grow fescue cattle production would be a lazy man's dream job. [/QUOTE]
