[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1297252, member: 5381"] I planted a 13 acre test pasture two years ago with about a 50 50 mix of Klein and Wilman Lovegrass. The soil was plowed three passes with a cheap disc. I don't have a small seed drill so I planted it with and 70's model JD model B drill. I mixed the seed with fertilizer. I have been very pleased with the results but I think I like the Klein best. The Wilman seems to leave a thatch buildup. I shut the pasture off in mid September before it started raining and opened it up this week. The herd of 45 cows and 24 or so calves left the hay rings and stayed in the pasture for four days. The baby calves love it. They bury down in it and look like fire ant mounds. I am going to shred it later this winter if it dries up enough to bust of some of the thatch build up. I believe it is a great mixture that establishes fairly easily, not overly expensive and does well in a rotation basis. [/QUOTE]
