Maximizing Grazing Days with Seasonal Forage Planning
If you have questions about this resource, contact your county Extension office.
Summary
To extend grazing days and reduce dependence on hay in Tennessee, producers can follow a practical, four-step approach: 1) building a strong forage base with cool-season grasses and legumes; 2) improve early-season forage availability by incorporating cool-season annuals; 3) utilize warm-season forages to fill the summer forage gap when cool-season species slow down; and 4) integrate cool- and warm-season forages across the farm to create a more balanced, year-round grazing system.
