Hi all,
This is my very first post, so please be patient.
I inherited a ranch under very difficult circumstances this year and I will be operating it on my own. I know very little about anything to do with ranches, but I have been studying a lot. The ranch is not currently stocked with cattle. I will be restocking within a month, hopefully. My question is should I continue to allow the grass to grow high, or go ahead and mow it? I can't mow the outback because there's just too much, but the 15 acres or so around the house I can handle with my zero mower. I just don't know if I should let it get high or not. It's mostly bermuda with lots of clover. Is higher grass better for the cattle? What is confusing me is that I heard something about you shouldn't let it go to seed...
Thanks.
