[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1361632, member: 18945"] Thanks. Reason I asked.. I sold 17 acres last year and the new owner just runs horses on it. He didn't get it sprayed this year because we had so much rain and high water (I was barely able to get mine done between rains and it was late then) so he asked if I could mow the 17 acres. I agreed to it for a price and started yesterday. He's a nice fella, but doesn't know much about pasture or grass management. Bahia is nearly up to the horses' bellies. Cutting hay isn't an option for him right now, and I don't cut any either. He keeps 4-7 horses on it all the time and they're looking pretty good with no supplemental feeding in summer except on weekends when he comes down from Houston. He has told me I could run some cows on it, but I don't want to--you know how cows are--into everything, rubbing on anything and he has lots of stuff stacked up and no fence around his new buildings or "good" junk. His horses don't bother any of it but cows sure will. Mowing it high but still cutting lots of good grass and wondered if he just needed to bring more horses in from his other place out near Schulenburgh. I hate to see good grass go to waste. [/QUOTE]
