Cattle were turned out after Thanksgiving to graze cover crops that had been interseeded into corn. After looking for grain, they warmed up to eating greens and gourds.
Jordan Uldrich shows the size of turnips growing in what he calls the cabbage patch, a harvested corn field that had been interseeded with cover crops. His cattle are grazing the field in 1.5 to 2-acre paddocks.
The sun sets over a field of cover crops and corn stubble on the Uldrich farm. The collard greens and other covers give his cattle fresh fodder at a time of year when they’re not used to seeing green.
