Forage Timely Tips for June
- Continue hay harvests. Minimize storage losses by storing hay under cover.
- Clip pastures for weeds and seedheads as needed.
- Start to slow grazing rotations allowing for a longer recovery period.
- Use portable fencing to decrease paddock size and increase paddock number.
- Do NOT graze below the minimum desired residual height.
- If present, johnsongrass can provide high quality summer forage when grazed or cut at a vegetative stage.
- Crabgrass, a warm-season annual grass, can provide high quality summer grazing. If desired, remember crabgrass needs some annual soil disturbance to keep coming back.
- Begin grazing native warm-season grasses. Start at 18-20” and stop at 8-10”.
