Can You Plant a Cover Crop OVER the Grass? Check Out Our Experiment! (Winter Pasture for Cows!)
As the summer grasses die down, we need green grass, legumes and brassicas for our Dexter dairy cows to eat - so we've done an experiment. The results so far are very encouraging!

Today I'll take you through the pasture to share some experiments with growing winter grass. We planted ecotill radish, Austrian winter peas, winter rye, grain rye, oats and three types of clover, starting in one pasture. Then, when we started to see results there, we did the same in the larger pasture with some changes in the planting/dragging/mowing order. As a bonus, I take you on a tour through the crazy cow highway we cut through the woods to connect two pastures. You could plant a no-till cover crop in the garden this way, by oversowing right on top of your grass, just by hand-seeding. The results are intriguing. Also, we look at how we fed seeds to cows and let them do some sowing for us, as the seeds pass through into manure and are put right on the pasture where they're thriving. These ideas are inspired by Greg Judy, Gabe Brown and other pasture management experts. I've also learned from people planting deer plots, though that usually is done with discing. What if you couple plant a deer plot without even tilling the soil? As we learn to grow great pasture and take care of dairy cows, we'll take you along with us. Thanks for watching.
