Subject: Re: Grazing milo stalks and nitrate levels


When I was growing up Dad pastured milo stalks every winter. He always said that you should wait until several days after a killing frost where the whole plant dies. He said that if the plant gets hit by a light frost but is still alive and starts to regrow it would develop prussic acid and kill cows by the time they took their third mouth full. He wouldn't graze milo stalks until at least two weeks after a hard freeze which in our area sometimes was late November or early December.
