[QUOTE="Jim62, post: 554963, member: 6655"] It can be done as long as EVERYTHING falls into place just right. I did it a few years ago. Had a couple pastures of standing grass that lasted just long enough, and a very mild winter. You still have to have hay on hand, just in case. Like if you overseed the clover and rye and then get no rain. That part works just like summertime. The last few years, I'd say I feed about 1/2 the hay that would be considered "normal", with the winter grasses taking up the slack. Cows seem to really like the idea of grazing green grass year round. Ever notice how they don't seem to miss the hay until you feed the FIRST roll? [/QUOTE]
