[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1045665, member: 17956"] Inyati, One reason, is I would like to have enough to square bale about 600 bales a year. If I like it, when my kids get a little bigger I might do more as a project for them to make a little cash selling squares. Believe it or not, horse hay is hard to find in my area. I am about an hour west of Bowling green. Another is I would like to mig my cows on "some" mid July through August. Just to completely rest my fescue/stockpile some for fall. I think that I could save myself from feeding several rolls through the winter by stockpiling more fescue. I went to a guys a couple weeks ago. He had 19 cows, looked like almost all had calves and a bull on 7.5 acres. It was divided 4 ways. The cattle had been on that same 7.5 acres most of the summer. I know this was an exceptional grass year, but that sounded pretty good to me. His stand was tifton 44. It looked a lot like my test plot as far as texture and color. I was hoping someone with some bermuda experience could peep at my pictures and say if the production was what they would expect to see. The bush hogging set it back. I didn't remove the clippings. It seemed to smother it for a while. I should have made 2 or 3 cuttings with a discmower, and removed it. [/QUOTE]
