[QUOTE="dun, post: 876758, member: 34"] In more or less "normal" years it is except occasioanlly during the winter when the grass is covered with ice or snow. With a low enoughstocking rate you can graze all summer even though the grass has quit/slowed it's growth. But it requires either a lot of CSG or enough WSG to graze during that time. Then when you hit a spell like 2 months with no rain you're still pretty much peckerd because even the WSG stops growing. In a normal year we feed hay in maybe very late March into April, some years we don;t feed any hay at all. This year we fed it in June & July (no rain) and 100+ temps colling off into the hgih 80s low 90s at night. A couple of times we tried seeding rye grass to fill in during thr winter slump but it started coming on then got covered with ice/snow. [/QUOTE]
