[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1785968, member: 1715"] Annuals can be very high yielding and also very expensive. Think corn. SS based mixes pencil out the best here in summer. Oats and brassica based mixes pencil out the best here in fall. And these mixes do a lot more for the soil biology then mono crops. Making balage with annuals just adds more cost. So, you need to put together a "forage chain" plan for an extended grazing season. Ideal situation would be to graze calves or finishing animals to maximize VOG. This kind of feed is way too good for cows. Grazing annual mixes is a fast way to increase OM, but buying in hay may to cheaper. Run the numbers. [/QUOTE]
