[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 946155, member: 18809"] The extension stressed that it can go to seed very quickly. IF you wanted to keep it in your pastures, they recommended not grazing or cutting from May 15th to June 15th, and said even that was a broad window. The pastures we toured were mostly rye, and seeded back in 2007 and never re-seeded. The extension thinks a great grazing grass, but I think it is a lot like fescue, once you put it in it is hard to get rid of it. They just wanted to warn everyone that was planning on seeding it. On a side note, they also stated that one of the pastures the guy had just broadcast it, let the cows tromp it in the ground with grazing on the ground for a few days, then pulled the cows out and let it germinate. He had a good stand that way also, but they did not recommend seeding it that way! Go figure, but we put it in last fall and we will see if it comes back. [/QUOTE]
