will cattle eat sprayed off grass?

cloudroost

I want to get a bit of reseeding done and given that it's getting late in the year I want to get the grass in as soon as possible. Would it be better to graze off first, then spray, till etc... or should I spray off now and graze off after 5 days?
- I'm not sure if the cattle will eat off the sprayed grass, hence my querry - what do people think? (Contractor will be spraying with Gallup 360)

Thanks.

I would graze first and then burn off because I burnt off a field a couple of week ago and let the cattle in 5 days later but they didn't do a great job of eating it so think better to eat first.

Also, its easier to till the less grass there is

If you graze first and then spray you remove the growing points on the plants to absorb the spray. So you will not get a good kill the way you are saying to do it.

Yes it is easier to till if grass/trash is removed. Cattle should eat grass sprayed off ok. Could always topp after grazing to deal with it or have an accident with matches.
