[QUOTE="JH_cattle_co, post: 1296934, member: 12095"] I seeded 100 acres of b. dahl in early spring 2011, obviously it was a total failure, think I wound up with about 30 plants. Reseeded in 2013 with a mix of b. dahl (50%), klein (30%), and wilman (20%). I had little success with the b. dahl again, but the klein did good, and the wilman did excellent. Both times the seed was planted in a firm, well prepped seed bed, and grazing was deferred a full growing season. The b. dahl has started coming on a little better this year, still far from what I would consider a success, but the cows love it. I also seeded about 250 acres of rangeland after mesquite grubbing with a mixture of native species and wilman. I just broadcast the seed after raking the brush, again the wilman was the big winner and it was only about 10% of the mixture. In short, I have become a big fan of wilman, easy establishment and the cows love it. I also like b. dahl, but don't know if I'm willing to give it another shot after the trouble I have had getting it established. [/QUOTE]
