[QUOTE="Hogfarmer10, post: 1849302, member: 41451"] I've got an almost 5 acre watermelon patch right next to one of my pastures. Last fall, I planted it in annual ryegrass. The cattle next to it are all first calf heifers, most calved by March 24, except for a couple that just calved last week. Still eating some hay (5x6 bale lasts about a week, maybe 10 days). Get commercial 15% feed fairly regularly. Free choice vitaferm high mag mineral since mid February. (Not very much consumption - 18 cows, avg 1000-1100lbs, eaten about 70-75 lbs of mineral). Ryegrass has not had fertilizer, but did have some cow manure applied. It's currently about 15" high. I'll need to plow the ground in a couple weeks. Would you be afraid of grass tetany if I turned them in for a week - 10 days, or would you just plow it under? [/QUOTE]
