I have some bottom land paddocks that were planted to Red River crab grass for hot weather grazing when the fescue is dormant. No negative side effect has been observed with the cool season grasses. I try to hold off grazing the RRCG until it is knee high. For quantity of feed I possibly would be better off with pearl millet but I would have to replant each season. With the RRCG each year the stand improves and the cattle seem to be spreading the RRCG through their manure. The cattle really seem to like the RRCG.
I have no practical experience with CG, except what comes up naturally, and boy does it!
I am just not hearing any downside to cultivating what is a vigorous summer grass. It seems to fit well with the low/no input philosophy.
I am wondering why there are not more users of CG??
