[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1109351, member: 4362"] I think everyone who has posted so far has put their finger on it. Listening to the chemical dealers you would think it would be a spotless pasture with just that one grass in it but what I'm beginning to see is its the diversity of plant species that really make the ideal pasture. Like Highgrit said, the native ryegrass in the Bahia is good stuff speckled with some clover. This is what I'm seeing my cows eat and they are eating in the "worst" kept pasture. I watched one particular cow stop by a patch of this native ryegrass which is so short I couldn't mow it with my lawnmower if I wanted to and it just sat there and grabbed and grabbed at the spot without moving till it was shorn to the dirt. I haven't a clue what the TDN is in this stuff but it has to be off the charts for them to be slicking up like they are. Just find it interesting to see them blossom so on "weeds". [/QUOTE]
