[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 653325, member: 1715"] I have fenced in some low clay fields that contain mostly reed canary, with clover and timothy on the higher spots. Traditionally they were hayed once in July producing a lot of stemmy headed out course hay. Last year we hayed all but the lowest peaty areas in mid June and then grazed the regrowth in August. The tractor tires came up wet while haying, and the amount of hay was greatly reduced compared to a July cutting, but the August grazing was high quality and timely. Have you seen success with short rotation grazing of stockers or cows on wet reed canary meadows? How long were they left on the paddock before plugging was a concern? I would prefer to start grazing them in June during an average rainfall year without plugging. [/QUOTE]
