[QUOTE="JRGidaho`, post: 707837, member: 13410"] Hereford Roadhog, I think grannysoo has warm season grasses in GA so her response that frosted grass might be worthless may apply down there. In Ohio you probably have cool-season grasses and they will be fine after the frost. As dun suggested, frosted tall fescue is actually better than unfrosted tall fescue. Orchardgrass, timothy, smooth brome all lose some quality, but we have grazed dry cows on those grasses all winter and they do just fine. Frosted alfalfa should be left for about a week and then it is usually safe. The leaves fall off pretty quickly and you're left with just low quality stems if you don't get it used within three or four weeks of the frost. [/QUOTE]
