[QUOTE="Nowland Farms, post: 218886, member: 2797"] Kid, You need to go talk to your County Extention Agent to see what grows well in you area and for your soil. If your cows will be there in 3-4 weeks and you only have enough grass to feed them for a month, you are in trouble and need to start looking now for a place to graze the cows. Even if you had the seed on the ground now, by the time you need to put the cows on the grass they would destroy the new grass. Whenever you plant new grass you need to let it grow for at least 2 or 3 months or longer to develop a good root system. Grass at 1 month or age will probably be pulled out of the ground when the cows eats it. Cows break the grass off instead of biting it off. If the root system is not strong enough, all of it comes out of the dirt when the cows pull on it. [/QUOTE]
