[QUOTE="EIEIO, post: 167842, member: 1947"] No way would I broadcast it, I'd say drill it. I used to live in Carrol county and they had a seed drill we could borrow from the extension office. You could do the spriggs as was suggested but depending on how rocky you are that may not be an option, heck even drilling there was a PITA. I'd also get their opinion on when to plant. My primary hay field there was fescue and Guymon bermuda and I had great luck with it. Got at least one cutting of the fescue and then when it got hot the Guymon came on, when it went dormant was about the time the fescue would come back on. Just a bit far north from what I was always told for the Bermuda to give you multiple cuttings. Most I ever got was 2 but the single cutting I always got was great stuff. Always was having horse folks come by wanting to buy hay from me. Forgot to add that if you do sprig it I don't think there would be any way you could graze it this year, same may even hold true for the drilling but I don't know. You might be able to graze if it was drilled into an existing field that you did not kill off just to put in the bermuda but even then it might not do all your wanting it to do. I'd let it be for a year or possibly just hay it before I put cows on it. JMHO. J [/QUOTE]
