[QUOTE="BC, post: 576038, member: 67"] I think I have seen several good ideas on this thread. In my area of East Texas we have mostly improved bermuda , common bermuda and bahia. With the costs of fertilizer, it looks like we have two choices - reduce the amount of fertilizer and add legumes with a slight decrease in stocking rates or totally stop fetilization and cut our stocking rates by 3/4 to 1/2. I also feel we will need to go to more of an intensive grazing program where cattle are contained in smaller paddocks and moved daily. This will improve manure distibution, recycle nutrients and give a short rest period for regrowth. [/QUOTE]
