[QUOTE="ny_grass, post: 588681, member: 8237"] For reasons that I still can't understand, the guy who does my haying didn't come up to bale it during the two days of opportunity he had and now I have about 6 acres of beautiful second cut hay on the ground. To make matters worse, I'm mostly out of grass to feed the cattle. (I sure would have loved to have them on this "hayfield" if I knew how it was going to turn out!). So, if I turn them out on this hayfield will they eat the hay? It's been about 4 days since it was cut. It's been rained on pretty hard twice but we've had some sunny days too (though in the mid-50s). When I pick up it the top layer seems pretty dry and it smells pretty good. The bottom layer is green with some black/brown of non-grasses decaying. Would it be a waste of time? Would it be bad for them? [/QUOTE]
