In the winter, snow covers the grass completely, making grazing impossible. Therefore, it is advisable to use the scythe to cut some or all of the grass into hay before the end of the fall season to ensure enough reserve hay to feed your animals through the winter. It is generally considered a good practice to build a silo and begin storing hay even before building your first coop or barn. | In the winter, snow covers the grass completely, making grazing impossible.
