Fjords? or real short Belgians. In either case they look good.

Whats your zone? you can broadcast oats and vetch if a good discing is done first. Do a once over light discing and pray for rain. both oats and vetch will go dormant/die when it gets hot. About Junes middle here in zone 7a. disc lightly the oat/vetch and broadcast the buckwheat. Buck wheat has to be near the dirt to germinate and grow. It is an aggressive self seeder till frost and then it is gone.

I often mix vetch in with oats. If you can leave fallow the vetch will have a dense mat of vegetation which will supress weeds. Follow in the summer with buckwheat and the bees will appreciate you.

What will be grazing the orchard this year? Consider the pruned and the unpruned sizes, air flow and sunshine are critical.

I once banded/castrated at birth. Birth banding does retard terminal size(I’m a cattleman not a teamster, yet) We castrate/band at weaning to take more advantage of natural testosterone. Let the vet. do what is convenient for you. It will not be convenient for the calves.
