Thanks for the info. I got a mix that I want to try this fall but time is getting away from me and I dont know if I'll have time to get it in. Here it is, called Rays Crazy cool season mix (http://www.kingsagriseeds.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Rays-Crazy-Fall-Mix-1.pdf): Austrian...

Do you broadcast onto sod then disc it in? Not trying to be bothersome I just want to try something like what youre doing but Ive never done it before and I need to hire out the work so want to get it all figured out first then find someone who can do it.

Good idea thanks

I got blackberry patches over 1/4 acre and the plants are 10 feet high. Any ideas? Can I bush hog something like that without popping holes in my tires?

Sky when you put in oats & rye in the fall do you drill the seed into sod?

Thanks!

What are you planting in to? Do you fertilize or spray? How long does it take to get to grazing height? Hope Im not being too nosy, just planning on putting some in this year and never done it before.

I was offered $1.25/hd to overwinter yearling heifers.

Kenny how tall do you let it get before they get turned out?

Is the grass growing in your area yet? Im in VA (Shenandoah valley) and nothings moving yet but we have a week of 70 degrees coming up. By the end of it Im thinking some of the cool season grass will be waking up. Also, if you rotate how do you handle the transition from stockpile to fresh...

:nod:

another reason is that animals will refuse to eat next to their poop so the grass stays tall there

:lol2: ha! my goats never bloat and they fart and burp and sneeze 24/7. Maybe thats the secret

hey dun do you do anything to prevent bloat? i have a pasture that is 75% white clover and i want to turn them loose in there but ive been holding back because i dont want anyone to bloat. also, might wait til hottest part of summer when cool seasons go tough and the clover is still good.

thanks dun
