Frank - It takes a very mature cow to be able to properly digest winter rye 'grass' or 'hay.' That pretty much excludes we stocker scheme folks, who are working with animals less than 2 years old. It would take a lot of rabbits to eat the stacks of rye that I have , but I'll try some of it on some of them tomorrow. -Allan
