[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 547909, member: 3162"] You are slightly wetter and therefore a touch more humid than I am. If I was planting grass, I would plant sudan. That is an expense that will be with you year after year. If you cannot grow coastal, look into bahia. Long term you are best planting something residual. Take care of the pasture and it will take care of the cattle. I am overseeding my residual grasses with Hubam Clover. The seed comes from Breckenridge, Texas (Turner Seed) and this has been very successful for me the past two years. It puts a lot of N in the soil. With the cost of fertilizer being what it is, I intend to buy a bunch of seed this fall. The folks there told me that this clover variety "could grow to 6 feet tall". In the spring of '07 I actually had it 8 feet tall on the Brazos Flood plain. It was amazing. This year I grazed it closer. Anyway, it is a cheap source of N considering and you get forage from it that the cows go after. Rotate you cows all you can. Keep the flies off of them and that is a chore. Find someone in your area that is making it on like ground. Do what they are doing and go from there. Use clover for N if you can. It will really help. Good luck. That bit about playing to win is a serious statement. [/QUOTE]
