Look at these books, All flesh is Grass by Gene Logsdon, or Living at natures pace. Do you get Hoards Dairymen? Grazing isent all bad, but you may have lower production. I would think you would have to feed some silage (hay corn) dry hay, grain, or a tmr along with grass. And all of that in winter. In the summer grazing will cut down your feed costs as a supplement. Or did want to go to complete grass fed? You can grow corn, or oats and turn the cows onto it and let them harvest it.
The biggest hurdel I see with grazing is you need a lot of non tillable,workable, land, and alot of fencing. Then if its in a remote location on the farm, electric, water, or shelter problems.???? I really dont know how much grass effects production, but I think its good for the cows. Good luck, and keep us posted.
