Turnout after hay baling

[Patiencepending]

Hey ?
We had one of our fields cut for hay about 3 weeks ago. I kept them off it on another field to let it recover a bit after the dry weather. It’s had a bit of rain and is starting to green up a bit more and is now at least an ok length.

I’ve raked out any bits of missed hay from the bailer that have started to go black ? raking obviously isn’t perfect though so there are still the odd strands of hay moulding. There are also quite big patches of brown/orange grass that’s stil toasted from the dry weather.

Would you turn out on this?
I’d like to because it is the field I can turnout all 3 in without needing a hand as it’s right by the barn. I’d also quite like t
o give my other paddocks some rest.

thanks in advance for the advice and thoughts.

I would. There seems enough good stuff that they’d ignore the few bits of left over hay. I’d obviously make sure there weren’t any fermenting piles left.

I would turn out.

Thank you.
there are not fementing piles. The green is mixed in with browning grass but I think that’s fine right? It’s just the hay that’s getting old that’s no good I think.

From description and picture, yes I would turn out there now.

[Horseysheepy]

I bet they're loving it!

They did enjoy it but got through it very quickly with the lack of rain and grass not growing ?
