[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 762296, member: 7509"] Thank you for the comments. Yes, I do see the change in her gut/rumen size. I don't have the ability to "ease her down" even if I had known what to expect. She had to make the change herself. Kingfisher, the grass that's there is a mixture of whatever grows here on its own. I did interseed this paddock with a no till drill and pasture mix a few years ago. What is in the forground of one picture is what I believe to be a wild celery. They just love it. This is a bit over mature as you can see some seed heads. However this spring the grass is growing faster than they can use it. Tough spring to make hay though. I mowed this pasture to keep the thistles down. There is some clover under the grasses. The next time they rotate through this paddock in about 45 days there should be more clover and less of the cool-season grasses. We have been blessed with timely rains in this particular area. I hesitate to mention that because about 2 years ago we had a spring like this then the faucet just turned off after 4th of July and I really struggled through August. Jim [/QUOTE]
