[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 1285100, member: 7795"] In 2011 planted late September after a couple inches if rain. Some of it, that not planted in the dryer natured soil, came up. The rest laid their till Christmas when we finally got rain to finish bringing it up. At least 50% of what came up survived. The rest came up after that Christmas rain. Oats Oats seems very resilient. If it was planted in a decent seedbed and came up it can suffer a long time if their was a little moisture under it. It will also lay their till it gets the moisture if it's dry. Another bright spot in this is the gulfcoast ryegrass hasn't had an opportunity to germinate and die under this heat. We should get a nice volunteer stand out of it should it begin to rain. The problem is as fenceman said. We are not going to have a thanksgiving meal ready for the cows come turkey day. In 2011 I had 27 cows and a 2 bulls. I planted 20 acres for them. Luck had it when it rained I also had 30 acres of volunteer oats come up in January. This was ground I had tried to no till hay grazer into grazed out oats but I only had 30 head and didn't need to plant 50 acres. I cross fenced with electric fence and began grazing before February. By mid March I was buying young cows needing something to eat. I wouldn't give up on it unless you have seen it come up and then die. [/QUOTE]
