I normally don't like bahia, preferring the pastures to be bermudagrass instead. This year, however, we've been 3 weeks without rain and coupled with the high heat - all of the bermuda is dead. The bahia is doing well and I just had hay baled on it about a week ago. This summer the bahia is bailing me out, and now I find myself lucky that we have it (My dad's land is completely bermuda and we are having to bring cattle over to my place because of the lack of forage. Does anyone out there intentially grow bahia? If so, what is your reasoning behind it? I'm not certain of "native" bahia's protein content, but live bahia is defintely better than no bermuda.
