Anybody use it for spring grazing? Pros and Cons? Had a vet say that cows dont cycle very well on it because of some toxin or to much protein or something, kinda worried me because i was going to kick my replacements out on some.

Usually plant triticale but couldnt find any last fall. Out of wheat, triticale and rye, rye is the first to mature from what i have read. And if it gets away i think you are kindo SOL, and could just wait until in the dough stage and hay it.
I like straight rye seeded early enough for some late fall grazing, then spring grazing and when it wants to bolt don't fight it, pull the cows and take off a crop. Nothing wrong with a 20 - 70 bus crop that if you are willing to sit on it for a few years can be sold north of $7 bus.Big Muddy rancher said:eatbeef said:This is my first year with rye and started grazing a 6 inches tall.

ps- tired of the wind yet?
