[QUOTE="pdubdo, post: 1279095, member: 24024"] I'm just getting started on about 50 acres of pasture in southern Oklahoma that hasn't been mowed/maintained in prob 5-10 years. 5-10 ft tall pecans and oaks, 5 ft high plum thickets, and other "weeds", but a good variety of healthy grasses as well. I'm going to keep it as a native grass pasture for the first couple years at least. I'm probably over-thinking this, but in thinking about suppressing weeds/woody growth and encouraging grasses, is it better to mow short (4-5") or high (10-11") on the first time through? Or does it not really matter? [/QUOTE]
