The hard part is Sandy, and planting after harvest, you will need a rain to make that catch!
I assume you straight combine the oats for grain, so this won't work....
What I do for grazing is plant a plowdown mix from Albert Lea Seeds of clover and alfalfa, pretty cheap mix, add in some turnips, and seed it along with the oats through the alfalfa seeder box. I swath the oats, combine, and bale the straw. The other stuff grows some, the light oats that blew out the combine reseed so if it rains, and there is quite a bit growing by fall for the cattle to graze, along with some cornstalks I fence along in. The clover stays shorter, the alfalfa as mentioned by the other doesn't grow real thick this first year, works well for rough grazing but it would depend on the year to try to cut and bale these......
You wouldn't want to try to cut and bale a turnip. Just we are clear on that, they are for grazing, not hay......
You probably wouldn't want to straight combine oats with the clover and alfalfa coming up?
I've heard of Teft, and Sudan grass, and annual rye grass working out. I'm not familiar with them tho, just maybe helping start a conversation, not sure which of those work well for a late planting into dry ground..... The oats itself will often regrow pretty thick, can be half of what you get right there.....

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
