Deworm them now with the best dewormer on the market so that they can utelise the belly deep grass to its full potential. That will make the summer slump much less of a slump.

Supposedly, the best time to deworm the cowherd is about 6 weeks after start of grazing. That way they have "gleaned" the worms from the pasture, but the cycle of the worms in the cows have not gotten far enough along for the cow to be shedding eggs.
