Book excerpt: Stockpiled pasture results from saving certain hay or pasture fields for grazing in fall and winter after forage growth has stopped due to cold weather. This bulletin examines forage productivity after one or more years of fall clipping or grazing. Spring yields following fall clipping or grazing were measured on three separate trials. In the first trial, research plots, stockpiled under two different management systems, were clipped for three consecutive years. In the second trial, lambs grazed paddocks of pasture mixes, stockpiled under two different management systems, from October until November in each of three years. In the last, beef cows were strip-grazed across mixed pastures from October to mid-December in 1997.
