[QUOTE="cotton1, post: 1384698, member: 14689"] DWA- Im not too far away from you or Oscarsteve I don't think. I'm in Saluda County SC. I'm interested in the way you have changed your herd. It looks like the land clearing around here might get put on hold as its about to get wet. I'm still hoping they get the root rake work done by Jan, but we will see. For me last years flood caused economical problems, then the summer of no rain really put it on me. I have reduced my herd by 1/2 and besides the land clearing I have intentions of rotational grazing. If it works out for me the way I'm shooting for, I should wind up with about 8 pastures(within one) that are in the 7-12 acre range. My idea is about 10 days grazing and 70 days off per pasture. This last years weather made me think irrigation may be necessary. Anyway, the neighbor planted Pensecola(?) and likes it for his horses. From what Im gathering on here the Tiff-9 is what sound like the best overall for this area. I would like to keep up with you guys and share what I am doing here, so maybe we can learn together. My biggest difference from Oscarsteve I think is the sand. I have red clay on top mostly, and some sand on top for maybe up to 6-8 inches, then red or white clay. Cotton1 [/QUOTE]
