Diet changes for the cows and local eaters in the fall.
Days are getting shorter, the weather is getting cooler. The leaves are just starting to turn. And, the cows are loving this weather. Cows produce the most in the spring and the fall, when the weather is cool and the grass is growing. Right now, the cows are eating fresh alfalfa grass, which is an awesomely nutritious food source for our (mostly) heritage breed cows. However, starting in late November, the farmer extends the fresh grass season by growing quick crops of oat grass. This means that our cows can continue grazing on fresh grass through December and sometimes into January.
