[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1760209, member: 24565"] I never mow fescue to remove seedheads. One grazing rotation is cows grazing off the mature seedheads. Sheep, too. If I mow, it is for weeds. This year I sprayed and will not mow. It took the same amount of fuel to spray all pastures that it would take to mow one of the bigger pastures. And the spraying is more useful to grow forage in place of weeds. In a drought or dry times, the seedheads and stems keep hot and drying wind off of the forage. And I know it has to increase the collection of dew from trialing strips left alone and strips mowed. The unmowed strips can grow and be grazed much longer. And they recover quicker after a rain. Dew is the unrecorded precipitation that really helps in critical times. [/QUOTE]
