[QUOTE="M.Magis, post: 1336631, member: 14175"] I suspect what ClinchValley is talking about aren’t actually blades of grass, but rather the “stems” of grasses such as orchard grass, fescue, timothy, and such. The cows will eat all the blades down, but won’t eat the stems unless they’re very hungry. The pasture will look like it’s full of grass, while there’s not nearly as much as it appears. Mowing them down will help fresh blades to grow as well as help minimize eye problems, but I can’t say it’s worth your fuel or not. Edit: M-5 was posting at the same time. Partitioning them off is probably the best overall way to deal with it. [/QUOTE]
