Reply to Grazing before leaving for hay
Hi Will, with my limited knowledge , and not knowing the size of the paddock you are discussing, I would say the following.
If you are cutting for Hay, then that is not normally carried out til mid October- mid November, depending on season. If you have some good growth already and you leave it un grazed then you risk it going to seed early…

Grazing before leaving for hay
We have fairly poor soils and growth of an oats and pasture mix that was sown in autumn, is fairly patchy right now – some areas are great others look bad. In a paddock we want to cut hay in, is it a good practice to give it one light graze over with cattle and then leave it till hay time? Or just keep the gate locked until hay cutting time?

How’s this for growth.
This is the area where I left a cover crop to go to seed last year for stockpiled dry summer feed.
You can see how well it came away this season. Even the dog thinks it’s worth eating!

Certainly has! After my last post I decided to put the mob back into the sacrifice paddock with some oaten hay I bought.. just moved them into the first strip this morning.. much more grass now!😊 Put some hay in a mobile feeder to help with the adjustment.

Hi Kate, what a difference 2 weeks have made! We have a nice mix of rain and sunny days, bit warmer than usual and the pasture has responded beautifully. Cows are now on grazing rotation, aiming plus 60 days before 2nd lap.
I am starting them off for overnight on grass at high density ( 150 hd on 1-2 ha) and then back to sacrificial paddock…

Reply to When to start grazing the green?
We are still holding cattle in same paddock and hand feeding. Will apply foliar Liquid Trace Mix hopefully over the next couple of days to give a bit of a boost before grazing. Much like you Kate, some areas of paddocks have good cover and others not so strong so trying to give it just a bit more time. I am pleased this recent front has not…
