lactating dairy cows grazing switchgrass
I have a producer interested in grazing his dairy herd on
switchgrass. He is a good dairyman and a good grazer. I am afraid to
committ to the establishment of switchgrass and then find out that
his milk production dropped appreciably. At present, his rolling herd
average is about 15,000 lb.
What can we expect when dairy cows are grazing switchgrass?
Thanks in advance for any help or insight anyone can give.
