If you have too much pasture and not enough animals to graze that pasture, you may end up with pasture that is overgrown or too far in a certain vegetative stage to be suitable for grazing for the animals you have. Thus taking hay off of that pasture will encourage grasses to regrow and thus allow your animals to graze that pasture while the others have a chance to rest--that is, once the grasses have grown back at a suitable height to be grazable again.
Hay itself is also a good stand-by should pastures face drought or are too wet to have animals graze on. It allows animals to be fed in an alternate means while giving pastures to rest, to regrow and/or dry up, respectively.
