Tips for Grazing Winter Stockpile
Saving pasture for use during winter grazing is a great feed for cattle. Trevor Toland explains how he stockpiles Kentucky 31 fescue pastures to graze after late November. This saves on winter hay costs and adds to the soil biology of the fields by distributing manure across the field instead of a lot.
