[QUOTE="ENNOT, post: 288609, member: 3562"] You should be fine after two week from a killing frost. Not too sure about the nitrate problem though. We have alot of guys run cows on frost killed alfalfa and they haven't had any problems as far as I know. To be safe you could throw out some stemmy hay to help fill up their guts. Maybe ask someone around your area that has done it before, but as long as it has frost killed, it should be okay. We have an irrigated pasture that is about 20 - 30% alfalfa and we have never had any problems. I would think you would be okay, but like I said, ask someonne in your neighborhood that has had any experience. Just make sure they are full of feed before you turn them on it. [/QUOTE]
