[QUOTE="novaman, post: 206671, member: 2744"] We make oat hay every year. We usually cut it when the kernals are in the soft dough stage but cutting it earlier as mitch suggested would give you higher protein. It does make good feed and we usually get pretty decent yields. There are two problems that I have with oat hay. The first is the hulls coming off and getting into the eyes of the cows. The second problem is nitrates. Oats is quite susceptible to having high nitrate content especially if you over-fertilize or have a drought or hail storm or something to slow the growth of the plant. [/QUOTE]
