[QUOTE="simme, post: 1646554, member: 40418"] I don't believe there is any "danger" in frost damaged crabgrass as there sometimes is with forages such as johnson grass. What happens is that it becomes unpalatable to the cows. As the days get shorter and cooler, its growth slows down, it starts losing some color. After first frost, the cows don't prefer it. Stockpiling crabgrass is not like stockpiling fescue. Fescue quality is on the increase and crabgrass quality is on the decrease now. [/QUOTE]
