Longtime lurker! I have learned so much from you folks already and I thank you. Decided to finally join as I am getting close to taking the plunge and getting a few cows.

Very familiar with the area.New arrival. Bought 51 acres off of CR 2262 before Trevat. I live in Willis, but plan on retiring to Groveton soon. I really like the area.
Test your soul or your spinning your wheels.I can't imagine less than two hundred pounds of fertilizer per acre and one to two tons of lime per acre. I have a lot of Red River crab grass, seed was actually bought by a cousin over off 94.Well you know I have a lot of pine trees then. I've cleared about 12 acres, leaving just oaks. Put out 4000# of pell lime 3 weeks ago along with 1000# of fertilizer and 5 lbs/acre of Big Dahl's red River crab grass. Hoping to get a descent stand of grass growing, then I will look at putting 2-4 cows on it.
Do not use Grazon!!!Got a soil test done by SFA. They recommended 1800 LBS/acre of Ag lime. I don't have a way to spread Ag lime and a spreader truck on my place won't work. I had to go with Pelletized lime from TSC, which was expensive. SFA recommended more fertilizer to be applied after the grass comes up. I see quite a bit of Dallisgrass coming up naturally.
