We cut ours a little over a week ago and baled it up. That was a 3rd cutting and it was 4 1/2 weeks after 2nd crop. We're planning to cut it again right after a killing frost as it won't grow anymore after that and it won't hurt anything.

We've got atleast another 3 weeks before we really have a solid chance of a killing frost, but it seems like the killing one had been more into October lately.
