[QUOTE="Newberry Creek, post: 1120159, member: 21180"] I have Tift 85 and love it. No way in the world for the cows to keep up with it in the summer. It has come in good enough already this year that my cows are on pasture only. I rent out three of my five pastures in the summer so I don't have to mow them, then trade rent for hay. My hay man likes the Tift 85 so well he has cut and rolled some of mine green and sprigged it on his land. He sells it for horse hay. You do need good mosture to get it going but with good moisture you will have adequate pasture in four or five months. Like Jogeephus said, you will have plenty of space to seed winter grazing over that first years planting. I no-till drill in oats and rye grass over several of my pastures every year after they stop growing for winter. Usually in November. I live eight miles from the Florida line. [/QUOTE]
