Correctly managing spring grass growth isn’t easy, but having an effective plan in place will optimize both cattle and grass production for the remainder of the season.
- Don’t be too early; overgrazing slows subsequent growth and pasture resilience
- Early grass is water-laden; consider energy and/or dry matter supplements
- Hay boosts daily dry matter intake.
