Clair Timothy Leafiness

I've got a field of straight Clair Timothy and this stuff is amazing. I have never seen a cool season grass, i.e. orchard grass or fescue with so much leafy material. The seed heads are starting to emerge and we are hoping to cut and bale over Memorial Day weekend. Weather forecast for us is a narrow envelope so the buffered propionic acid is locked and loaded. Might be a must cut/bale in 3 days affair. Given the leafiness of this Clair, the yield is going to be pretty good IMHO. Our fertilizer timing, along with the rains of recent has it really thick. All of our equipment has had a dry run on a small batch of hay and is ready to go. If we can just get the rain/weather to cooperate, we'll have some great Timothy out of this field. Going to hit it after cutting with nitrogen for a second cut too. Normally wouldn't take a second cut, but college tuition looms...

Anyone have experience with Clair Timothy? I'm liking it. Our other variety in another field is Climax and I'm not to happy with it. This Clair is a strong grass and very competitive.
