Forage Timely Tips: April

Posted on by
  • Graze cover crops using temporary fencing.  
  • As pasture growth begins, rotate through pastures quickly to keep up with the fast growth of spring.  
  • Creep-graze calves and lambs, allowing them access to highest-quality pasture. 
  • Finish re-seeding winter feeding sites where soil disturbance and sod damage occurred. 
  • As pasture growth exceeds the needs of the livestock, remove some fields from the rotation and allow growth to accumulate for hay or haylage. 
  • Flash graze pastures newly seeded with clovers to manage competition.
