[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1711605, member: 18945"] There's no magic date or circumstances for everyone in Texas/southern Oklahoma. Depends on your stocking rate and what kind of cattle you have too. Some eared cattle will fight for every last sprig or leaf of green then eat drier stuff before needing hay and the fewer AU/ac you have the better they do it. Some years I can wait till after the 1st frost if there was sunshine and moisture, some years I would have already been haying by now. I don't own cows now but there are plenty on my place and neither the guy that owns them or I have even considered haying yet. (Been a wet fall with lots of sun in between) Rain tho don't always mean good grazing. Sometimes it's (the grass) mostly water. Like others, I want the grass gone (eaten) for the most part before i start with the hay. [/QUOTE]
