[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 352826, member: 3162"] There is no real definate answer for you without more details. Most summer grasses send all nutrients to the roots once the cooler cycles start. My guess is that your cows are getting grass in the early winter months that is pretty much void in nutrition. You'd be better off cutting and baling it while it is still alive. Hence, a third cutting. Your cows would get more nutrition that way. You really should do some soil tests, figure out exactly what grasses you have, and determine what fertilizer should be applied. That would help all the way around. The correct fertilizer will add nutritional value to that grass. The cows natural fertilizer in those fields is the only benefit I see to your situation/program, based on your description. [/QUOTE]
