[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1647792, member: 6543"] I have been using multi species mixes to graze horses and cattle for about ten years... My local feed store has a summer mix and two fall mixes that we created and he sells a few tons of seed from these mixes every year. I do not recommend the mixes to other horse folks because horse folks are so funny about their feeds and feeding. I do lots of small paddocks and frequent moves....horses just polished off the last of the summer plots this week....I sowed a late season cool mix on two paddocks two days ago by broadcast....mixed up seed for five more yesterday....I am using ten or 12 species on my mixes....rains this fall have given me some of the best stands I have had in a few years. I will go out and broadcast in the rain....if I can get there I will mow and drag tires behind the mower to shake seed down to the soil and give a little litter cover and break up manure piles....with good forage the cow manure will be soupy.....horse still give you biscuits and need scattering...no lime or fertilizer in over ten years now....took some pictures a few weeks ago....will try to find one...
