Even though Florida has a relatively warm climate, pastures do not grow year-round. Cattle, horses, and other domestic grazers need some type of conserved forage during the late fall, winter, and early spring when growth of warm season pastures is greatly reduced due to short days, cool temperatures, and possibly drought.
