[QUOTE="hayray, post: 622942, member: 3046"] Italian ryegrass with medium red which worked real well for me on some ground last spring after a turnip rotation from the previous fall. I did sorghum sudan last year and was not impressed with the few grazing days I got but I did short it on N and I guess it did do pretty decent growth. But I think the main problem with it was the really high dry matter so intake was excepionally high, I planted the Garst hay and graze, even up here in Michigan I would have been able to bale it no problem. We also had a bad drought and then real cold temps late summer and fall and the turnips basically did not grow, big change from last year. I also had some forage rape in on a 5 acre piece and got 3 grazing off of it but conditions just were not good so I think I should have just not waisted the time and money. I am thinking of just not tearing up anymore ground for summer annuals but rather am going to put my resources into fertilizer and leasing some more property. [/QUOTE]
