Cow pastures on Sudan grass — A cow stands in a pasture of Sudan grass at Jamie and Deanne Holmstrom's dairy farm west of New Glarus, Wisconsin. The couple decided to convert to a grain-free operation about 10 years ago, and now pastures 80 mostly-Normande cows on 13 acres of Sudan grass for 12 hours each day throughout the summer.
