[QUOTE="TNtrout23, post: 1794858, member: 42637"] So I’ve had a few threads on the site but just now generalizing each topic to each thread. So now let’s go over seeding. I have 6 cows and a bull on 14-15 acres. There are a few small wooded patches for shade. So I fertilized last year triple 19 then realized a soil test would be the best thing for me to do so I did it and fertilized 2 weeks ago according to my results. Was low in P and K no lime needed. I’ve grew up are cattle my whole life but it was just a hobby for my grandfather. Now I’m getting into it myself with a small herd until I can get more property. Anyways we had a rough summer last year as everyone knows so I’m curious if that hurt my winter grasses. I used about 25 more bales of hay than the previous year. So now I am looking into over seeding and what to do for winter grasses. My biggest concern is I do not have anything to cut the ground if that’s what’s needed. I can broadcast seed but as high as seed is I do not want to just throw my money away. Our local co-op doesn’t have anything to rent for this so I have been on the internet searching but the best information will come from you guys with real life experiences. I have been looking at cultipackers but I’m not sure this is what I would need. A drill is out of the question as they are pretty expensive.
