I'm sure this has been discussed before but I'm curious who has top seeded their annual ryegrass onto short cut bahia fields? What results did you have and what was your stocking rate @ the time ? More economical compared to complete seedbed preparation but will the cows keep it ate down to...

Southeast la - planted my rye grass/clover mix about 10 days ago. The hillside that I planted has sprouted with a good cover but the bottom portion of the field has not. I plant into a seed bed and the bottom was cut more than the hillside. I cover the seed with a spike tooth drag. Any way I...

I'm using Vision 8 w/ Spur to vaccinate my calves for blackleg - I'd bet the set of cows I bought weren't blackleg vaccinated. They're 3-5 years old so should fine but I'd hate to lose one on account of not being vaccinating. Can you give the shot to bred cows that are past 2 years of age?

Has anyone had luck overseeding Bahia pastures with perennial ryegrass & white clover? I'd like to try it out but have a few question. Will it slow the growth of spring Bahia grass? I've read that you need soil contact but I don't want to scratch my ground early in the fall when the Bahia is...

I put 100#/acre of Amm. N and some potash 3 weeks ago - southern La. We've had 1 shower in that 3 weeks and daily temps above 100degrees.....grass is starting to burn up...any chance there will be some growth still if we get some rain soon?

Not sure if this is the right board but has anyone had any luck with keeping cows separated from rye grass by hot wire alone? I'm trying to decide if I need to put a barb wire fence up or if a 3 strand hot wire will suffice. The cattle will be turned in on the grass a couple days each week but...
