[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1655808, member: 39018"] I've been considering something similar, Steve. Strongly considering putting some Tall Fescue into my mix, specifically because of how well it does as "winter feed". Not very good in summer I guess, but after a hard freeze, the cattle absolutely love it, it stays green well, and it is tough enough to stand up under the weight of snow more than native grasses will. Might grow some corn in wide rows, with a good mix of cover crop including tall fescue between that, and maybe even leave some corn standing out there for winter grazing. Don't think I'd be considering bringing the cows onto my "winter stockpiled feed" in September though... I'd hold off on that till as late as possible, and save it for Christmas and on.... and I'd expect that whatever they might not be able to get to in the deep of winter because of deep snow will still be there for them once it starts melting in spring.
