I have 10 acres that has been eaten over fairly good, it is a fescue/durana clover mix, with Bermuda that comes in the summer, I had to pay a lot for hay last winter and am looking for a way to minimize that cost for next year. so I cleared another 10 acres and planted fescue/clover mix last fall, the clover didn't come in last fall when planted, but the fescue is about 12-15 inches on average.
what is the best way to maximize the pastures?, should I move the cows onto the new field while the summer Bermuda is starting to come in?
should I keep them on the existing field and let the fescue go to seed head then let them out in it?
also what would be the best way to stockpile standing forage for the winter?
I live in Georgia..., thanks in advance for any advice
