Early Grazing Rules For Sudan Grass Pasture
Milo Tesar of Michigan State College farm crops department says grazing Sudan grass before it reaches two feet can reduce yield and may be poisonous to livestock. If allowed at two feet, Sudan is productive and nonpoisonous. Rotational grazing with two or three smaller fields can shift animals after close grazing, reducing trampling and boosting yield per acre versus continuous grazing.
