Winter Annuals in the Grazing Program
• Cool season annual forages can be
planted in autumn for deferred grazing
during the late autumn, winter and
early spring.
Winter Annuals Include…
Rye Wheat Barley Triticale
Spring Oats Turnips Rape Kale
Collards Tylon Tyfon
Annual Ryegrass Perennial Ryegrass
Growth curves for cool-season perennial grasses, warm
season perennial grasses, and winter annuals.

Five Types of Land Management
• Extended rotations of cool season pasture
• Permanent pasture of native, warm season grasses
• Winter grazing on a corn-spring oats rotation with cover crops
• Winter grazing on small grain-corn rotation with cover crops
• A continuous corn rotation with no grazing
