Hi all
My grandparents have about 7 herefords grazing on about two, two acres. I was doing some research this morning and saw a guy online plant his field with orchard grass and alfalfa, but he planted rye first. He did this in the spring, harvested the rye in the fall with a combine, baled the straw, and then let the alflafa and orchard grass regrow but he baled it after. Does this work for animals to graze? What would be the best course of action and if so, should i still do a cover crop with rye? I wouldnt mind doing this as I wouldnt mind harvest the rye to save on poultry feed and baling the straw. Let me know!
Thank you!
