    Top Seeding Productivity

    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...

    Rye Grass Stocking Rates

    Curious if anyone had a rule of thumb for the # of head/acre for periodic rye grass grazing. I plant into a prepared seedbed with 3 different applications of N through the grazing season. The cattle usually get 3-4 days a week on the grass then I'll pull them off. All pairs.

    Did I waste money?

    Maximizing Acreage

    I have 15 head on 19 acres with 4 pastures that I rotate (southeast la) I plant rye grass in a seedbed on 6 of those for the winter.

    Winter Grazing Fence

    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...
