[QUOTE="Green Creek, post: 450253, member: 4166"] Thanks for the link. I had looked at another site that described purpletop but this stuff has deep purple leaves and purpletop descriptions say it has green glossy leaves. Our cows won't touch the stuff and we need to figure out how to get rid of it. The link you gave me gave instructions on how to seed it and preserve it indefinitely. Said it was good forage. Surely it can't be the same but stranger things have happened. Quote="dun"] Grab the seed head and let it slip through your fingers. They'll probably come off feeling greasy. If so, it's grease grass aka purple top. Has about as much value as broomsedge, but the cows wqn't eat it anyway.
