The call
The stand is a few days short of your beef target — figure Tue. The dry window Mon–Wed is open, so if Tue's scouting confirms maturity you can still cut into the back half of it before rain returns. No reason to cut early and give up tonnage.
infoTiming to the alfalfa in the mix — it drives your quality target, so it sets the maturity call.
