    Local cattleman's association

    Just do something productive. Our county's is a joke. I dont go. 75% of them dont own cattle. They meet and eat steak once a month and put on a rodeo once a year so they can dress up like cowboys.

    Seeking advice on bermuda vs bahia in a new pasture.

    Your ground seems about the same as mine. Bahia will do fine with little care. Sometimes you should just take what the good lord gives ya. With the added expenses and risk of drought I've never had the stomach to sprigg bermuda in my dirt with no way to irrigate. I guess its something you'll...

    Bahia sprouts

    Yeah Jogeephus but it aint in style.Poor mans coastal.Nobody likes what the poor man has.I dont give a damn what it is as long as the cows eat it.Mine will pick bahia over just about anything else I have.

    Bahia sprouts

    Also bahia establishes pretty slow so be patient.The hotter the better.Mine is just now starting to grow good now that we've hit the mid 80's. It prolly wont be to it's full potential for a year or 2.I like to plant millet as a nurse crop the first year.I followed Jogeephus advice on that and it...

    A dumb question

    Thanks for all the good advice.It is a great deal.The hunter did have more money than sense and he ruined some great coastal pastures to boot to plant"food plots".He was also the lady's son in law and there is a big "D" involved.Thats why its a legal deal.I'll try not to get shot.
