[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 150733, member: 2905"] Nowland I would reccommend grazing the coastal first, then the native? grass & the fescue last. Reasoning is: coastal will loose quality quickest, native warm season grasses less quickly, and fescue maintains winter quality the best. As the hay is in the barn it should be fed after all grass has been grazed. If you feed hay while grazing, your cows will not graze but wait and bawl until more hay is fed. To further stretch your grass it can be strip grazed. This prevents the cows from walking, pooping and peeing on an excessive amount of grass prior to it being grazed. I would save as much barn hay as possible, because there will come a time when you will be glad you have it. Sounds like your cows are in excellent condition. Just remember, fat is a beef cows nutritional savings account. The Good Lord gave them the ability the store fat in the good (spring/summer)times to use in the lean (fall/winter) times. I would't want my cows accounts get too overly full at the expense of my personal bank account. Regards Brock [/QUOTE]
