We keep a good eye on condition especially in the winter. Using THIS SYSTEM we aim for a 5 during winter and 6-6.5 in winter. I’d call our boys at 6.5-7 right now.

Don’t mind them bring a bit chubby this time of year. Always worry “what if” they get sick and go off their feed. I like to see some margin.
It's very susceptible to frost. We can't plant it until June. They say to not plant until the soil's at 65F. It grows fast, though. It germinates in 3 to 5 days and the 1st cutting is at 45 days. I have a little bare patch out here that I was going to seed in grass this spring. I think I might plant teff instead and when it's belly deep I'll let them graze if off just to see what happens.
