Harvest grass soon to finish cattle on all forage diet

Grass is a Go, Time to Mow
May 17, 2018

Hay has grown rapidly during the past week and many grass fields have reached target NDF. A few grass fields are slightly below target but we would expect most to reach the target within the week. Several mixed stands with less than 50% legume are also near target NDF as of this sampling. We recommend starting grass harvest as soon as is practical. Mixed stands with less than 50% legume content should be considered for harvest soon. Mixed stand with more than 50% Legume content look to be at least a week away from target NDF.
