[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 777800, member: 637"] I have three heifers close to calving around the barn in a very large lot, and it is full of common bermuda grass, about 5" tall. There also was a bale of orchard grass hay/red clover/Durana clover in the same lot, due to the baler not wrapping it well. The heifers completely finished the orchard grass hay before they started grazing the bermuda grass. I was trying to figure that one out! But cured hay with clovers in it are different than two green patches of bermuda and orchard grass together. When you mention that cattle like common bermuda over orchard grass, have you heard anyone speak of how cattle react to Vaughn's bermuda against common bermuda or orchard grass? We do have a hay field that we spriged with Vaughn's bermuda therefore we have access to more sprigs if we ever need to expand in that direction. Ideally, it would be great to turn them into the orchard grass in the spring and early summer, then the bermuda, while it warms up. Then back to the OG in the fall. Chuckie [/QUOTE]
