[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1816533, member: 43196"] I'd let it go. If the fescue is that deep now, I suspect it went to seed this spring/summer, regrowth would be marginal with good rainfall if you did clip it. If you don't get moisture, the growth you have there now won't come back this fall much at all. The knee deep portion sounds ready for winter now. The real question is what is the risk, if any, in saving/trying to save the current stockpile this far out for this winter? I suspect the only thing might be is that it will be a bit coarser than what typically grows in the fall for winter grazing. It might take a few more cold nights/freezes to improve its palatability and lower toxicosis risk, if that is a concern where you are. You won't gain anything from clipping weeds and blackberries from here on. [/QUOTE]
