It depends on the temperatures when you put her in tbh...
If it is still relatively warm...above 5 degrees roughly, there could be some growth but I should think it will be ok especially if it is longer grass.
Is there a specific reason for her not to be allowed any good grass...if so, I would leave it as long as possible.

When I change over to my winter field (in November, after bonfire night), I stop hay completely, unless there's a frost and even so, they put on weight. I wait until after bonfire night due to the reasons Honeypots refers to - still too much goodness. I tried to use the field in October last year and it was still too much for my LGL case.

NO there is no reason she can not go on it i was just wondering how much if any goodness was in it to see if i have to supplement with hay or not? Any more help would be great!
