[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 581338, member: 4353"] Under my conditions the last cutting before winter and the first in the spring is wrapped in plastic to make baleage, its excellent feed and lasts very well outside. On the grazing, it depends which variety and how high the crown of the plant is. Some you can graze, other don't tolerate it well, typically the higher the dormancy score the less well it tolerates grazing. I would prefer not to graze alfalfa at all if the longevity of the field is a priority, I wouldn't graze first year alfalfa if I can help it. Just out of curiosity how many cuttings do you normally get a season? Under irrigation we cut every 4 weeks regardless of how much bloom, typically it would be 5-10%. Various experiments here have shown that yields the best production per hectare. [/QUOTE]
