Its June and having water flow out of ponds is a sight to behold. This means i wont be pumping water this summer.

To graze or not to graze, thats the question.... Went to the hayfields, and graze it is..No need to hold this pasture back for hay. Cows and calves were very happy to come in for the feast..knee deep lespedeza and dalis grass

Looks awesome!

We were sweating bullets a couple days ago wondering if we were even going to have any hay to cut and it rained yesterday!
I would have hayed it then put them out.

Very nice!
Do you have any problems with ergot fungus affecting your Dallis grass?

IT's a weed. Most folks try to get rid of it.

Managed right its great grazing and a good hay. As long as you dont put out young animals on a field thats headed out and humid, not a thing wrong with it. Since we bale our own hay, we dont have to worry about getting hay that someone baled while toxic. You also have to watch how you feed it by moving your hay rings around so that seeds dont build up. Cows love them and they'll bloat if they eat a bunch. But, again, we bale our own hay so thats not an issue.
Its a weed in my yard, but great grazing.

We have too much to hay <- cant believe we'd ever say that again..lol . These calves will get enormous on this. Their mothers are the older girls and need to get fat because some of them will get culled this fall...

Thats it in a lawn. Its a terrible lawn grass, i call it the ringworm of my yard.
In a pasture and not mowed for a lawn, its a good pasture grass. Has a very sweet smell to it.
