[QUOTE="Crusty, post: 5491558, member: 14164"] I went to a grazing discussion group meeting in spring last year where the advice was to make sure cows ran out of food at around midnight so they went out after morning milking with an 'edge' on there appetite, which is fine as they'll graze hard etc but holstiens want the opposite imo and this is why they would fail on alot of extensive grazing systems. I think crossbred cows of some description are still the best for a spring calving grazing system and I'm a massive fan of the holstien [/QUOTE]
