[QUOTE="JRGidaho`, post: 723257, member: 13410"] dun, You know that's really not a bad idea when you consider (as we have discussed before) the majority of Missouri stockpile is higher quality than the majority of Missouri hay. With most people still calving in Feb-Mar, the cow's nutrition would probably be better if she had the hay first and was on stockpile from Jan thru Mar. I could also make a pretty good argument for feeding hay in Sept-Oct so your pastures could rest and grow more stockpile. That's a hard one for a lot of people to accept, but it will definitely work in a wet late summer-fall situation because the fescue can grow more pounds per day than a cow will be eating, so you just a well let her eat crap hay while the weather is still good rather than trying to feed it to her in Jan-Feb.
