[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 598956, member: 4362"] Good question actually. Its the age of the growth in the field. This was taken from some literature about putting up hay. What the graph doesn't show is the tonnage in the field. If you were to collect the grass at its highest protein level you wouldn't have enough forage to bale. On the other extreme, is a lot of bales to the acre but very little food value. It does say a lot. This is one of the reasons I cannot seem to make frosted grass grazing work in my area. The quality of properly worked hay is as good as the day it was put up - while the frosted grass is nothing but filler and needs supplementation. With this in mind, what works for you - supplementation or feeding a quality hay. (I'm only speaking in my area) [/QUOTE]
