For maximum protein content the mix should be cut when small grain is in the boot stage. Cutting after the grain has headed out will result in more tonnage, but it will be lower in protein. These mixes are quite palatable and are well-liked by cattle. Dairy cows usually respond with good milk production. If used as a nurse crop for alfalfa, the 1st crop can be cut for haylage and the 2nd and 3rd crops can be cut for hay or haylage.
