I posted the same question on an earlier thread. See Dun's reply. Dun stated I may have a volunteer crop for late season grazing. We have been using it in a small pasture that I will use for the winter pasture next year. If the volunteer crop comes up, it may save me a week or so of haying. I payed, in March, what I would normally pay for the same size bail of 2nd cutting Alfalfa. Talking to the man's father that produced it, I got the impression that it was a hybred cross between wheat and rye. I have sample of the wheat and the hay we feeding out for analysis now. If the analysis comes back good and the out of the field price is less, we may purchase some more to alternate with our other hay next year. The cows seem to be eating it ok, but haven't been on it long enough to offer any opion. Is this wheat hay a new product? [email=longhorn_2@hotmail.com]longhorn_2@hotmail.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
