[QUOTE="dun, post: 1209149, member: 34"] Is it bluestem or broomsedge? We never get a second cutting and our only cutting is usually anywhere from late may to late june. Cutting it in september will ehlp (as long as the fertility and water is there) and make some good growth in october and november, that's more or less what stockpiling fescue is all about. If I would cut it in spetember I would cuut it taller (leave more residual plant) then the earlier cutting so that it has what it needs to make that fall growth. We get hotter earlier then you and also colder usually then you so your stockpiling season may be earlier then ours. We're South of Lebanon by a little and you know as well as I that the season can be really variable. We get our first cutting then leave it till fall and then graze it until we get freezes that keeps me from being able to water with exposed pipe. Back pasture/hayfield is almost a half mile of poly pipe above ground. Front hay field is only 1/4 mile from hydraunt to temp waterer, also in above ground polypipe. [/QUOTE]
