Thanks S_F, sounds like your spring is even worse than ours, so I won't be afraid to get some CX in winter. I'm not worried about harm to the pasture, just that there's nothing green in it for them after it goes dry, which is usually early June. Then we don't get rain until November, sometimes October if we're lucky! So typically the pasture is only green from December through May. I think we'll try some meaties this summer just to get some experience with them (we have cool summers, typically in the 60s) and then get some in the fall whenever it starts raining. By the time they are ready to go out on pasture it should be greening up with tender, delicious young shoots.
