Phillip, I've been involved with the same problem on many acres through the years I was on the wheat run, and there's just no perfect way to deal with down wheat and weeds. I've been in the grain tank knocking down the green sileage many times and I've also been inside the combine un-slugging it. Thistles are the worst, for an obvious reason.
Usually when roundup is used it only takes a few days to wilt the weeds and then it's good to go. The weeds don't need to be crispy dry, just wilted enough to make the stems soft. If you have to shave it off the ground the wheat straw will be tough too. It's just one of those jobs you have to muck through with a lot of determination.
It's getting a little late in the season to get much re-growth, but maybe you could let the shattered grain grow a bit and then graze it. Maybe hit it with the disk lightly to start it growing. Just an idea. JIm
