[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1315285, member: 24583"] Bigfoot, the key here (and I'm most certainly not telling you what works in Kentucky) is to get it planted early. And you need some good moisture to help it get started. I mix oats, rye, and ryegrass. I try to get it in the ground in late sept early oct. Oats give me some early grazing then the rye comes on strong by February and the ryegrass about now. Costs me around $150 acre for planting and fertilizing (same as 3 bales of hay). Can't say it saves me any money but it doesn't cost any more and it's definitely better for the cows. I limit graze and rotate and creep graze and do whatever I can to stretch it to the max. One downside. Dry weather or severe cold can cause you heartache. [/QUOTE]
