[QUOTE="Rcole1310, post: 1245443, member: 21786"] So I run 47 head of Angus. I just started my operation a year ago and I've been paying a grazer to do most of the management so my forage knowledge is very limited. I just leased a 45 acre pasture on the Texas gulf coast and I'm hoping to move about 12 of my heifers to it this summer. Its been neglected for a year. I have a call in to the county extension agent to see what help I can get. I think the pasture rehab will be a fun project for me if I can just get educated on it. I have also read previous post suggesting taking a soil sample. I plan to do that this week. My question is, (1)can anyone tell by the pic what grass is in this pasture? I know its not a great photo but I'm trying to determine if there is edible forage that needs to be weeded and fertilized, or, there's nothing there good for the herd to eat and I need to start from scratch. I'm going to have it mowed as soon as it dries up a bit. (2) Should I spray herbicide before or after mowing? I'm shooting to make this 45 acres as productive as possible as quickly as possible. I REALLY appreciate any guidance or advice. Thanks!
