We graze our cattle till 2 weeks before calving March 1st on our corn field. The one thing this does that no one talks about is pushing the frost down after a Manitoba winter. It breaks down soil compaction in our sandy soil and usually is the first field planted because the spring rains dissappear faster than fall tillage. Benefits for the cows are obvious. Fit cows walking miles in winter before calving. Another is baling corn stover with frost on it or a light dusting of snow. These bales get super hot and the cows love them in January and February.
