Right i would prefer to winter stockpile too, but if you can make hay on other peoples property (a lot of people wouldn't mind if you made a deal with u to keep brush down and make a little hay in the process) then it would be easy to extend your grazing season with all the added organic matter.Likewise - I really don't know why it only seems the preserve of winter feeding, that's risky in our climate as it puts too many feet in one place for too long. Doesn't stop everyone doing it, but IMO it's still wrong if everyone is doing it and still right if nobody is doing it
I'd be more inclined to build up a standing grass reserve by feeding before it gets wet, then plastering the standing grass down when it does get wet.
Or summer feeding, summer cropping, and focus on our all-grass wintering systems
