    Turned out today.

    Kenny, I figure one 1000lb cow/A/90days here in central Alabama. My stockpile is not nitrated and not as good as yours. I do move my wire daily and that helps a lot.

    Paddock sizes

    The more paddocks you can comfortably create, the happier your cows, your grass and you will be. Excellent points here by all.

    School me on over seeding pasture

    Mark Reynolds, thank you for your many contributions. As you have stated previously, the principles are the same everywhere, timing will vary considerably depending on location. 7 days in your country will be 3 days in Central Alabama. 30 days will be 20 here early. Rest periods will extend as...

    School me on over seeding pasture

    Has anyone on this board planted a “novel” endophyte fescue over 4-5 years ago? Would you replant it today?

    Stock piling grass vs hay

    coachg, if you will look back on Kenny’s posts on stockpile fescue, he is dead on. I am farther south than you, in Montgomery, but we clip fescue the first two weeks in September, apply 50 units of N and wait 90 days. Then we graze one dry cow/A for 90 days, on daily moves. We feed no hay. You...

    Thin red clover stand

    Leave your red clover pasture alone. Contract as early as possible for the hay volume that you expect to need. Graze your red clover pasture as available. You will be money and nutrients ahead of any other recommendations.

    Crab Grass

    Folks, if you’re gonna buy crabgrass seed, by it from RL Dalrymple at Ardmore, Oklahoma. He started all the work on improving crabgrass seed and study of its management. Through his work with the Noble Foundation, he has forgotten more about growing and grazing grass than any of us on this board...

    Lower Input Production Information

    This thread reminds me of an old Henry Ford quote,” If you think you can, or think you can’t, you’re probably right.”

    Bale Grazing

    RDFF, you are absolutely right! Folks, we are leaving a lot on the table by ignoring this regenerative stuff. Some is hard to follow, but it’s legit!

    Bale Grazing

    Excellent! 30 years ago, I did the same thing on different paddocks. Once you figure out how much they will eat in a given number of days, you can reduce the number of days you have to move polywire. I was on fixed paddocks and placed the appropriate number of bales out weekly. We had about 7...

    ryegrass vs wheatb

    gitnby, you MUST let it make a good seed crop the first year! Pereniation should be no problem after that. Light tillage is helpful. Contact RL Dalrymple at Elstel Farms in Oklahoma.

    ryegrass vs wheatb

    Sounds like a great combination. Will probably need occasional light tillage to help the crabgrass.

    Fertilizer Prices

    Kenny, our fescue stockpile was not as good this year, either. Drier than normal fall. Rolling out some hay, as well.
