    Meadow Fescue Grass in New Seeding Mixture

    WHY FESCUE? FESCUE HAS A CP OF 12 % AND TDN OF 50% WELL FERTILIZED PLUS FESCUE CAUSES A CALCIUM PROBLEM IN BROODCOWS (TOO MUCH) PLUS HAVE YOU EVER EATEN BEEF THAT WAS RAISED ON FESCUE --- NASTY STUFF-- MIGHT AS WELL BE EATING BISON--- UNLESS YER IN THE JERKY BUSINESS. MY TIP IS TO NOT RUIN A...

    Low Forage Supplies

    This is pretty simple -- this way it forces you to match the kind of cattle you raise with your avaailable resources--- no more 1500 lb Beefmaster cows with great milking ability will be needed --- small to moderate framed cows will be the Norm. Bring it on -- some of us are already there. Good...

    soil sample

    Soil pH of 8.1 means you will need to lower your pH using elemental Sulfur-- this may take some time (years) if you are wanting to grow grass for cows.

    Bermuda grass

    Tift 85 is the way to go based on TDN --- but if I was in FL I would definately use a disc mower conditioner when putting Tift 85 hay up. definately save you some drying time..

    Hay versus Cattle Profits

    Tex I realize you are not the sharpest tool in the shed, so let me try to break it down for you in elementary terms. When you use the protien supplements in sub-standard hay or even cornstalks for that matter ---we can elevate the CP in a roll of hay that would otherwise be useless without it...

    Fertilizer and Profit

    A 95-0-0 is nothing lol ( is that per year>? (if so thats still nothing) but if you are suffering from a low yeild I bet your pH is off and your K. Also CP is achievable in different ways--- your N source is probably from your local Co-op and just maybe you could do it cheaper --whether it is...

    Hay versus Cattle Profits

    Not only am I in the hay business, but I am also in the cattle business, so you can't hurt my feelings - lol. I grew up down near Beeville Texas and I dont believe those Longhorn Cows need anything very good to make a go of it. Hell they can make it on Prickly pear If you are willing to pay the...

    Three Questions From East Tennessee

    Howdy east TN, chances are that fescue is gonna be old Kentucky 31 and it is an endophyte infested fescue and causes many troubles in cattle. Lower conception rates, lower weaning weights and poor cattle performance are typical problems caused by the fungus living inside of fescue grass. I...

    reseeding hay land ideas needed?

    Hey JS I am not sure our pards from Colorado understand the soil conditions of SW VA. They mean well but they dont have a clue to what Hill Top Virginia Clay soils are all about. Chances are these fields have quite a bit of compaction going on there these past 30 some odd years. No-till won't...

    "Pig Weed"

    Grazon is ok with a higher residual but the cost of that is too much I think. Pigweed is a sign of a poorly managed pasture where nutrient deficiencies abound---- For the frugal guys/gals use 2-4-d Amine at 1 qt per acre in 20 gallons of water per acre. I have sprayed 2-4-d Amine as a...

    Fertilizer and Profit

    First of all your numbers are incorrect for hybrid bermuda grass pertaining to a cows consumption Second- Nitrogen is a quick greenup and doesn't represent your yeild ( Lime/Potassium Does) (K) Third - If you cut hay on land you do not apply K on you will pay dearly for it the following year...
