[QUOTE="Nowland Farms, post: 380908, member: 2797"] HD, Since this field is Fescue I will only get 1 cutting. Fescue is a cool season grass and thus the reason for a good spring cutting. Here is my game plan for grazing and hay: -I should be able to let the cows graze the fescue field through the summer while I let the bermuda mix field grow (that is if we get rain). -I'll should get a cutting off the bermuda/mix field sometime in late summer/early fall provided we get rain and I time my nitrogen correctly. -When I cut the Bermuda mix field I will turn the cows in and take them off the fescue. -This fall I will hit the fescue with nitrogen for the fall green up and I will stockpile fescue for the winter. -In November I will turn the cows in on the fescue and the cows should be able to graze green grass thru the end of February when I will pull them off to allow the fescue to greenup. -and a new thing for late fall of this year - I plan to drill some rye grass into the bermuda/mix field to help with the grazing before bermuda greenup next spring. This spring (February and March) I only had to feed hay for a miminal number of days. My goal for this winter is to not have to feed any hay while the cows maintain their body condition. We will see.
