Reminds me of a question about livestock feeding on dormant, yellow, brown grass during winter months, do they get any nutrition from it? Or just fiber, bulk?
If it ain’t cut before grass scenesces in the fall, then it’s mostly just cellulose. Very little if any nutrition. That right there is why we cut hay

Dry grass left in the feild that cattle graze on is mostly just a filler/fiber you always have to feed something else with it if you want to keep the cattle fat and especially if they are breed or nursing a young calf so that both have a good healthy winter, fat cattle can withstand the cold better than a skinny poor cow.
So does a fat man do better than a skinny man? If so I can go to the Arctic.
