[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 1218680, member: 17304"] Everything you mentioned will work [b][u]IF[/u][/b] you can keep the cattle off of it. How long can you keep the cattle off of it? You probably have all you need right there in the ground anyway. Don't know how many cows you have, but if you could lightly graze it about every 30 days all year long, plus smooth it up with a bushhog after each time, that would force it to spread out just like your lawn and come together. It may take a couple of years. Whats going on right now is that the cattle are going to the short thin spots and keeping them short especially if you are continuous grazing. And those spots are being taken over by summer grasses because the fescue cant compete for lack of root system and dying out. [/QUOTE]
