Alabama, East Tennesse, Georgia and North Carolina would be a good place to sell hay right now. Long drive though

Rice bran has about 14% fat in it. (if you live around LA, MS, or AR

I ask because I just put out 100# of urea per acre on bermuda/fescue pastures 10 days ago. I'm just starting to get a few nights in the 50's. Low of 54 tonight. I wanted as much push for my fescue as possible.

I've always heard that fescue will dominate bermuda when the low temps get in the 50's. Is this pretty accurate?

awesome! I like the first one best!

It does not have a viable seed, but I can swear that where I fed T44 I've got bermuda growing around it. Now I cut hay from several different places so I could have got it mixed up. Can T44, a grass that does not produce viable seed, grow from a bales after it has set in a roll for 150 days...

On this tifton 44 hay medow, I usually get mid 60's in TDN and 14-15% protein. It was older growth this time, (8 weeks) and I lost a lot of protein.

I'm not saying this cause I run red angus, but many Gert breeders are using redangus to create a composite with the gerts.

Well, I had the hay tested and it was 9% protein and 61% TDN.

It can be done with adequate winter pasture, stockpiling of grasses, proper fertilization, segmented pastures and adequate rain. I would reccomend moving your calving season to March-April to make sure calves are hitting the ground at green up. Phrao cattle has done some research in mob...

I had about 27 acres of land that was water locked by the large amounts of rainfall that we got in Arkansas this June. I had Tifton 44 sprigged on this meadow several years ago and have been getting lots of quality hay on it. 15% protein and low 60s on TDN. Really good numbers if it's cut...

What do your cows eat? It looks like a sand pile.

She's the best kind of cow. She's the kind that make money. You could sell her this fall, get $550 + for the calf and get $450 for the cow. I wish I could buy 100 like her and double my money on every one of them.

but my cows prefer crab and dallis grass to bermuda. I know that bermuda is much easier to make hay with, but I didn't know cows would completely eat crab grass to the ground when bermuda is knee high. What gives? Crab grass is higher in protein; maybe that's it.
