[QUOTE="jerry27150, post: 1406693, member: 1177"] have had cows turned on spring grass that dripped milk for 2 months til they freshened again. don't know what you have for grass there, most early grass is over 20 percent protein. all your universities will tell you to milk the last time & put dry cow treatment in & give hay & limit water. old guys used to milk once a day for a while, then every other day for a while. but they discovered best way was to stop abruptly. most hay is only 7-8 percent unless you have alfalfa or clover that was made right. if grass was cut before heading it would be higher too, but not many get it cut at this stage. was dairyman for over thirty years [/QUOTE]
