so lets hear it then.. what are you doing to balance the plauge?

the grass killers. Poast is a good option to kill grasses- and keep the broadleafs intact. Here's an option list: http://www.co.yellowstone.mt.gov/extens ... odeact.pdf

ya, good for you.. tough guy...

Just depends on what kind of chemicals you chose to use. Not all of them kill everything in sight- sure Roundup is suppose to-- but if you've desire is to get an awesome stand of Ragweed, Mare'sTail, or Water Hemp-- then you'll greatly be an over acheiver using Roundup. There are chemicals...

That's odd- since the only expense my parent's had- was getting down there, and actually they didn't even pay that... Those guys just returned a favor- said come on down, we'll give you guns, ammo, knives, take you around, and you just bring yourselves and clothes... I do agree though that the...

Actually, my parent's just returned from FL from a hog hunting 'trip'. It was a favor returned by the folks who come up here deer hunting through my dad's work. I seen plenty of pictures and the video to know what's going on... I actually think they 'might' like having the hogs there. Why...

they shouldn't be allowed to live...

Bought a new tank- has some in it: been told who one bull is believed to be-- curious to see if anyone would have any interest in it, or would be able to tell me who the other bull might be. 41bu2966 bv178 "Black Eagle" I have been told.

In my experience, it depends more on the age of the sire-- more so than the AI or natural service. At our place, I experience about 75-80% females from a young first time yearling sire, and about the same %, but opposite, from a 6 year old sire in terms of male offspring. I think with AI-...

We topseed clover in with our fertilzer every year. We try to do it early in the year, but due to the weather, have waited until the grass has started to grow so we didn't rut up the pastures on occasion... to the naked eye- a difference was never noted.

since you don't currently have any livestock-- I would clear the brush and trees-- and then seed it down to a warm season native grass mix, split it up to graze rotationally- and then buy the livestock. 5 acres in most of Tx won't be enough for much more than one cow otherwise.

put the hogs on slats where they should be. then try and refill the wallowed out area with what they have wallowed out... Might not hurt to tile it either- as most often a short term problem such as this will remain for many years.. Just think about the 'buffler wallers' throughout the upper...

If it's NHEL-- I'd put a burn down on it== the mold board plow it... If it's not a HEL ground- the first year of changing ownership, and the fact it's coming from a 'hay' field-- will allow you to do the same thing...

If you are worried about soil nutrient levels- nothing beats a soil test- pretty cheap option. Might give a check towards some forage radishes- would give you two benefits- one a good forage for cattle consumption- and two a compaction tool-- since I'm assuming that if your winter feeding...

the ironic part about most winning sires, is they don't actually inject a specific trait into their offspring-- it's the dam- who's most of the time a superior animal that does that. ] There are plenty of exceptions though. To be able to figure it out- you need to constantly watch and engage...
