    Rye grass questions

    Probably be fine -- Ryegrass is a early spring to late spring grazing.... If you want good grazing throughout the winter months in your neck of the woods try Rye either in arable land (my preference) or no tilled in dormant bermuda/native grass next time JS

    E. Texas--Sungrazer 777?

    Planted some about 3 years ago as a trial plot on the sorriest, sandiest, land we had, tortured it with grazing -- survived drought 2010 2011 and 2012. I would recommend it.

    Best grass for pasture

    Get a soil sample, so you know what you are dealing with. Don't plant a permanent pasture grass as you will not benefit greatly from that. 1. Mow it short 2. Let it regrow a bit 3. Nuke it with 2 quarts of roundup per acre, chisel plow it / disk it several times to get a good seed bed 4. Plant...

    2-4-D Amine Restricted Use?

    2-4-D Amine has been found to be a Carcinogen in some cases and will more than likely hit the Restricted Use label soon and I look for it to be one day off the market completely. TSC with their limited understanding of what producers need and use arn't the best place to buy herbicides anyway --...

    Oats straw and alfalfa vs. lick tank?

    The height of Ignorance is condemnation before investigation I don't sell this "stuff" I Use it. its simple, its easy and it works well when combining CP and mineral together and it costs less, but it does depend on how many cows you are feeding --just a few then there are many options. Lick...

    Do I bale junk hay ?

    Thats an awful expensive way to get protein to cows on poor hay. 24 2 1/2 gallon jugs with 20% protein at over $400 dollars. You can buy a ton of 20% cubes cheaper than that without the cost of the equipment. Maybe, if you plan to only feed 1 ton of cubes (@275/T), you can juice the bale and...

    Pearl Millet

    I have been planting pearl millet since 1983. I prefer the dwarf millet like Tiff Leaf 3 as it has a smaller forage type stem and is more palatable. In 2012, Tiff Leaf 3 will not be plentiful, due to the drought issues in Texas. Better get it now if you want any as it may already be gone...

    Corn Growers and Grass Farmers

    I agree Agmantoo. The difference here is that those of us that raise cattle only have been pushing our pencils for years with no subsidy for our products and there is no need. These farmers have been on the dole so long they think it's normal. They don't watch expenses like we do because they...
