[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1406954, member: 5381"] It looks to me like you have the grass already there even though it is of the native variety. I really see know reason why you would have to plow or disc. I would just start killing the trees. That alone will take you a few years. The cows will do fine on the pasture as you work on it. If it is a real large pasture, you might consider aerial spraying the foliage. This will kill the majority of the trees and then you can come back next year (or later this year) and treat the ones that didn't completely die. After a couple years of this, a dozer will make quick work piling up the skeletons. The roots will still be there but they will be brittle and mostly under the soil. I would plant right into them if you want to try to get another grass established. Once the trees are dead there will be a lot more moisture for the grasses and you will be surprised how well it will do without any inputs besides a good herbicide. [/QUOTE]
