[QUOTE="BC, post: 184127, member: 67"] First thing to do is do an inventory of what you have. Identify what type of grass you have. Once you know what you have you can set goals for the place. How many steers do you want to run? How will you utilize the grass - sell stocker calves or grass fed beef? Will the type forage you have support your goals or will you need to plant something new. Trying to establish grass with animals on it is quite difficult. The next step is to get a soil test to determine your base fertilty and how much will be needed to make the grass produce enough to meet your expected goals. Continue on a good weed control program. Most of the time mowing is "revenge" killing because the weed has to get big enough to cut to kill. For every pound of weeds you control, you can grow a pound of grass. Last thing - pray for rain. Get some help from your Extension agent about what grows in your area. He can make recommendations for your particular area. [/QUOTE]
