[QUOTE="CCFARMS, post: 677915, member: 13051"] Thanks for the replies. I have a total of forty acres of brush and grass. This land hasn't been tended for over 20 years. Its great wildlife land but this year i bought some cattle and with out thinking it through I planted the millet and was forced to put them on the 15 acres that is about 50 50 of good and bad. In other words probably not enough of good grazing grass (sandy soil). I'm going to have to get some hay to give the millet time to grow(Deno pointed out). Its going to be green and plush so I assumed the cows would devour it first and then move on to the rough. There are a lot of plumb thicket cover, trees , blackberry's,tons of poison ivy! and native grass around. The trees and thickets cover more than the native grass. Its some very rough land. I am trying to clear at this time with brush mowing and spraying. Just a little info on what i have. The only real question was, how long i should wait so the millet will not get mutilated and be worthless making my time and effort for not. Like i said the original reason for planting was for dove and wildlife but I think i will have to ditch that thought. Thanks again guys for the advice keep it coming. [/QUOTE]
