Too Early Pasturing Of Cows Won't Pay
Extension dairyman Robert Fincham advises dairymen not to turn cattle out before pastures reach a healthy height. For bluegrass delay to 3 4 inches, legume pastures to 8 6 inches, and continue hay and silage feeding to preserve pasture strength and future milk production. Early grazing risks turf damage and low feed value. Rye sowing this fall offers an option for an earlier spring pasture next year.
