[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 1066181, member: 1974"] We're in Ohio, about an hour north of Cincy. 75% alfalfa is about the max I've grazed. Most of our hay fields are grazed for a 2nd, 3rd, & 4th harvest. This year we were delayed from grazing in the spring due to late growth, then suddenly everything shot up. Some of our paddocks were grazed, then hayed for a second harvest. We try to graze or hay every 4-5 weeks, then leave 5-6 weeks for regrowth before frost, then a light grazing can be done after the alfalfa is dormant, as long as the ground is solid. Manure was not a problem on the fields we baled instead of grazing for a second harvest. It was so runny it spread out & dried thin. Manure left in the fall is gone by spring. Earthworms will bury it quickly in the spring. [/QUOTE]
