[QUOTE="Post Oak, post: 1369666, member: 19827"] I planted a real sandy piece of new ground in tifquik back in 2012. It established a little quicker than Pensacola and Tifton 9, and it has a slightly longer growing season. The main problem that I have had with tifquik is that it gets tough quicker than Pensacola. My grazing rotations usually run from 21 to 28 days. That means that I graze a field down and then pull the cows out and they won't see that field for another 3 to 4 weeks. The Pensacola after that time is still palatable, but tifquik after that period of time is nearly unpalatable even though it has had twice the growth of Pensacola. Right now I am doing close outs and the cows have access to two fields at the same time and one field is Pensacola and the other is tifquik. They have about grazed the Pensacola into the dirt and only nibbled the tifquik. [/QUOTE]
