    If I apply cattle slurry (via splashplate) to freshly cur silage ground, how long would I need to leave it before I could successfully (without them rejecting it) graze it with cattle?
    It's newly reseeded ground, so I would be hoping to have it fit to graze in 3 to 4 weeks. I'd probably be applying 2000->3000 gallons per acre

    Depends on the rainfall. I believe there is a bit on the way Sunday so that would help wash it in

    You're spreading on stubble so whenever there is grass on it! 3-4weeks.
