[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1662917, member: 38101"] Forage quality has to match the nutritional requirements of the animals grazing that forage. There's a time and place for lower quality forage - ie dry cows but see the first statement. Leads to other questions. Most regenerative ag/grazing guru's advocate late calving to utilize spring growth to provide nutrition for lactation. What about the fall? Are these late calves supposed to be weaned when forage quality declines? Where's the high nutrition the calves need post weaning come from? I find weaning calves / feeding pairs early to meet their needs in the fall expensive so I calve a little earlier (March) and take the calves to market (hopefully) before I need to feed. 500 lb+ calves eat quite a bit more than baby calves.
