Probably cut and bale it and keep just incase of a drought issue next year and the stockpile will be better

Roll it while the sun's shining. :nod:skyhightree1":1f13krfw said:TexasBred":1f13krfw said:Sky it looks way past prime. What kind of grass is it??
Its fescue and orchard and some cinnamon clover... Most is past the prime but I would feed it and supplement if drought.

Let all that go back to the soil naturally, in the mean time it will protect the ground from the extreme heat of the sun and your fescue and OG will be protected when it breaks dormancy here in a few weeks, which will make for better stockpile this fall and winter.
I understand. There is a part of me that would like to keep my farm looking like a golf course and having all the passers by bragging on how wonderful my farm looked.skyhightree1":19opd95a said:Banjo":19opd95a said:If you don't need it, don't cut it.

I dont need it but spreading the seeds will help with overseeding. I don't cut too short but if I cut it when the fescue and og start growing again it will look alot better. I hate it looking like that.

One day I realized I wasn't in the golf course business...I was in the grass growing business...marketing my grass thru cattle.
I do this for a living so my decisions are based on how I can improve soil life, soil moisture holding ability, getting thru the heat of summer, and preparing for winter.
If I did anything with what you have there, I would just bushhog it up high.
Of course I'm sure you don't depend on cattle for a living so that will make your approach and mine different.
