[QUOTE="Texas G@l, post: 1843846, member: 39562"] When we started clearing woods to plant pasture years go, we planted Wrangler bermuda and have been pleased with it but if I knew then what I know now, we would have planted native grass. The native seed costs more upfront and you have to make sure you do not overgraze it; however, it is less expensive in the long run.... no fertilizer , less issues with pests like army worms and grasshoppers, etc. If you take care of it by utilizing rotational grazing, native grass will take great care of you. Normally, we don't feed hay; we graze dormant standing native grass. Due to the drought we had to rotate the cows back through the native in the fall instead of stockpiling it and started feeding hay on Christmas Eve. I highly recommend doing research on native grasses like little and big bluestem, switchgrass, indian grass, etc. You can't go wrong with grasses the good Lord designed for your part of the country.
