Pearl millet is not much good for doves,brown top millet is the best. You can buy Pearl Millet at Salt Pond Farm & Garden.

Thanks for your reply, How big a field and how many cows? How long does it last the way you propose to use it? What did you end up doing? Get any rain? Just a 1.5 acre field and 11 brood cows. I usually plant in May and it last until mid September when I plant rye. I got close to an inch...

I would have turned the cows in on it on a day on/day off basis after it got knee high(20 to 24 inches) until they nubbed it down to about 6 inches.

I work all day and do not live on the farm anymore so rotating for a few hours would be difficult.

I planted pearl millet on a piece of new ground on May 17. It has rained less than an inch on it since it was planted and it is only about 8 to 10 inches tall. We are in drought here and I will be out of grass in a week if I do not get some heavy rain quick. I am considering turning the cows...

I had 2 Hereford bulls for 7 years and and I had calves that they sired get out twice and it was only one calve at a time. This is my first crop of Angus sired calves and they have been out close to 10 times since they were calved. They are going to the salebarn next week and bull is going when...

I went and researched this site and forgot that I made a similar post this time last year and you replied and posted a link to the Georgia Forages website article. I read that article and it suggested to spread nitrogen on rye and ryegrass in late January or early February and so I went ahead...

It has just rained a few inches and I am considering fertilizing my rye and ryegrass today or tomorrow. I want to try to give the grass a little kick because I am gonna need it soon because I will run out of hay in 3 weeks. I have usually planted most of my pastures in ryegrass instead of rye...

Which is the best? I have my own opinions, but I just wanna know everyones opinion.

Thanks for all the replies. I have not made my mind up yet. I am planning to go check out a one pass seeder made by Plotmaster.

When I ran a Hereford bull, the yellow calves off of my Charolais cow brought right up there with the blacks, black baldies,and smokes. I will have a Charolais bull this time next year for my mostly Hereford and Hereford cross cows.
