Dairy Pasture
Grazing dairy cows need a very high quality pasture to maintain top production. Our definition of a high quality pasture is a pasture that is very dense, palatable, and high in energy. Density is important to maximize dry matter intake with every bite. Just like a confinement cow, higher dry matter intakes improve production. Palatability is also important to encourage consumption. And lastly, dairy pastures need to be high in protein and energy to supply the needs of the high producing dairy cow.
