[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1598770, member: 27848"] My experience with sewn winter pasture is that it's a lot of work and cost for limited returns. Work your arse off for a nice stand of wheat (for a crop), turn the cows in on it and the first thing they do is check the fences. So "herd mentality" sets in and the lot goes running around the entire acreage checking the fence. Then they stop and start grazing....take a bite and walk 10 paces, take another bite and walk another 10. Next thing you know all your pretty crop is stomped in the ground and the cows are rolling their eyes at you and bawling for something to eat. Next thing is water. Winter is usually rain. On flat ground that means soggy pasture. Add the above to that and you just have a big mess. I'll take hay, crummy hay at that (with cubes or Molasses tub). [/QUOTE]
