[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1236965, member: 16453"] In our neck of the woods that is how we get through winter, mostly native pasture with some temperate grasses through it and clover in a good year, hay is only bought in in bad drought years. We have fairly decent frosts most winter mornings but the days warm up nicely. The ideal situation is how things have been this year with good height and volume of grass going into winter, the ranker taller stuff will give a bit of cover to better quality feed down low, it looks like this year the clover is doing pretty well and will provide a bit of higher protein down low. If we get a good rain in early spring the clover will provide the bulk of feed until the summer grasses start growing in November. I do find with our stockpiled grass if I don't use over the winter months I tend to lose it as it just falls over and rots. Ken [/QUOTE]
