[QUOTE="nap, post: 612196, member: 8447"] The object is to dilute the fescue not feed strictly clover. With good rotational grazing you can keep the fescue vegetive insterad of reproductive a lot longer then you think. But when it bolts it will do it fast! If the seed heads are that big of a concern just clip the pasture at the height of the top of the blades before you turn the cows in. I didn't mean to imply that I would put the cattle on strictly clover in the spring. Actually I'm working on improving my clover but there is still plenty of fescue mixed in. As far as the seed heads go I intentionally let it become reproductive last spring and early summer in hope that it would reseed itself. During this period I kept the cattle off. [/QUOTE]
