Thoughts and comments?
 
I know a family mixed farm that always grazed their oats for an early bite. I have heard that ‘yearling’ operators in US used to overwinter weaned beef calves on oats behind electric fence. Not sure if the crop ever saw a combine though

Fairly common on the central and southern plains in the US where winter wheat is common. In a bad price year or a damaging frost or drought the crop will be grazed out and something else plant Decent amount of research out there on yield effects and timings.

It’s my understanding that this is also common in areas of South America and Australia.

very common in Australia.
As you say, there is also a huge amount of research & papers on it available.
Ive list count of the times I’ve put up links on TFF to Australian research on this very topic . . .
