Im NOT any forage expert but around here for the first cutting when the hay is tall with lots of stems headed out it takes good hay (height and thickness) to yield 100 small square bales per acre. If less thick or tall you may get like 60 or so. I would use Timothy as the tall stemmy hay but maybe mix it with clover under it??? If you get the first cutting off around Memorial day to mid June and get any kind of rain at all you ought to get a decent second cutting maybe 50 to 60 bales/acre depending on rainfall and fertilize. The second cutting is more of the tender short fine bladed less stems grass which stock seem to eat well and wastle little if feeders are used. That first cutting is more of the tall less tender stems. I like Orchard grass or Timothy etc mixed with clover versus Fescue hay. John T NOT any hay expert so take this fer what its worth NUTTIN
