Annual ryegrass you mean? It will need ground contact whatever it is, usually a light disking will do the trick. I have got good stands of annual this way. Have got fair stands but later in the grazing season by spreading seed then mowing pasture tight. Usually have had to use about 50% more...

Mow it off, I assume you tractor has a front end loader on it. Drop that bucket down almost skimmining the ground, it will provide you some warning. Ive leased a lot of bad pastures in the past and this is how we started cleaning em up. I wouldn't do it at present though its to hot and dry. All...

Big dozer with a root rake and someone who knows how to use it.

Be the first to admit I don't know squat about sub zero temps. It just seems to me it's not about cow size but the amount of fat the cow is carrying . If that's not right, please explain why it's not. In the south most of us don't want bulls that are overly fat going into the breeding season...

Whoa don't drag me into this....lol.... I do a little of both......and remember it was a TAMU prof that brought us Chinese Tallow.....personally I think money should be taken from the endowment fund to battle Chinese Tallow.....In my youth I grew up on the Coastal Plains....now its the Tallow...

Great idea TB if you get the rain otherwise that could be a nitrate hell

Don't know where your at in Tarkington , but if your anywhere close to Macidona , you have a type of crabgrass that grows there . Fed a many bale of the stuff . It grows there now because the dairy farmers that used to be in that area got it started, otherwise I would stick to the Bahia

Now Greybeard, you know them folks down in Kingwood need to keep them lawns green.

Welcome to the pain of trying to grow ryegrass in se Texas. With the amount of moisture we are getting you will only get one shot at fertilizer, so keep that in mind. I think yourb on sandy soil there by the river, so thats a plus. You gonna strip graze it or just turn em out. If this rain...

no Greybeard it all stayed up your way its been about a month since we got any rain to measure.

Nova, I would love to try the Dahl, but in a normal year it's too wet in my pastures. Any other ideas, I still have the different types of bluesteams growing

The state of Texas is probably in worst shape than just about any state in the union, when it comes to water. Land grant colleges pushed the agenda of growing more grass other than natives plants that have been here since the beginning. It is now biting us in the rump. Those natives that we have...
