[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 1341310, member: 17304"] Interesting subject. I have a summer grass growing here that the NRCS identified as Caucasian Bluestem. It seems to grow up where the cools season grasses are thinner or are going dormant. Cows like it fine, its probably a foot tall or more and really thick in places, its a bunch grass. It seems to fit into my long rotation schedule, in a few weeks it will start heading out and become less palatable. I have learned to not clip it at that point and let it slow down and mature in late summer, then the fescue will break dormancy and come up thru it. In my research of Caucasian Bluestem, some are calling it an invasive grass part of the 'old world bluestems'. On another place it is not as established and I was wondering if something like Big Bluestem or little bluestem could be interseeded in my pastures to provide summer grazing while letting the cool season grasses come back in the fall and winter?
