You are trying to establish fall cover crops on sod? Is that what you're saying? And you own, rent or control enough pasture to move cattle around that much? Hmmm.
My calves are on cool season grass pastures until weaning. That's about 215 to 235 days of age on the average. They don't see grass again, unless it was from a bale. Are you telling me you don't slaughter until an average of 30 months and they are at a live weight of 1200 pounds. That's pushing three years on grass to get to 1200 pounds. My conventionally fed feeders were going to the feed yard at 10 months and to slaughter at 16 to 18 months. And the live weights will be 1300 minimum. You do the math.
