[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 777705, member: 12607"] Chuckie, I'd say common bermuda and OG are both at the bottom of the preferred list here - cows just don't care for either - they'll eat ragweed first - but they will eat the OG if there's nothing else - or you confine 'em to a small area so they have to eat everything in sight before they get to move to a fresh paddock - but the OG's about the last thing to go. I will say that most of the bermuda- there's not much in my pastures - is usually pretty hyper-mature before they make their rotation back to previously-grazed paddocks, so it's not all that enticing, I guess. Maybe if I wasted some $$$ spreading fertilizer... I don't know of any allelopathy problems with drilling OG into an existing stand of OG - but I'm not an agronomist by training or education. I know that drilling alfalfa into existing thin stands of alfalfa usually comes up short due to the allelopathic effects of the existing alfalfa. [/QUOTE]
