[QUOTE="milesvb, post: 234092, member: 413"] You're right about the stocking rate. You can't put the grazing pressure on the natives like you can bermuda, bahia, etc. But, as far as water utilization goes, natives have root systems that can reach down several feet or more to tap moisture that the improved grasses cannot. It boils down to the fact that being native they are adapted to the local conditions and I'm sure their ancestors have seen drought conditions that would make our current situation pale in comparison.
