We have 3 hay fields behind the house, that we fertilizedat the end of March, they were doing great, dark green, clover doing good, orchardgrass growing, then we got a week of cold temps, 3 nights of heavy frost. Since then the fields seem to be stunted in growth. I walked out there today, there is still alot of clover and it is green, but also some of the orchardgrass on top appears to be tannish, but green the rest of the way. I'm wondering if I should turn my cows out on at least one of the fields for pasture, to see if they eat off the tops, if this would hurt the field or help it, or just leave it alone, hope for rain, and hope it continues to grow? What do you all think, any experience with this situation?
Thanks
