[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1619085, member: 24565"] Common bermudagrass can be anything from decent forage type to a short growing turf type that will starve a cow out. Common might sound like all the same but it is a catch-all of anything that did not or lost it's ID. Get a named brand and if you get a blend with common as part of the blend just assume that the stand will evolve into a stand of common in a few years with the same unknown quality. White clovers will not do much unless the pH is good. Soil test before you buy the seed. I only graze pastures (do not cut hay) and planted a blend of "GA Blend bermudagrass" and UF Riata bahiagrass in both of the last 2 years. It allowed a quick cover as bahia did better in some spots than bermuda and visa versa. That also allows a half rate of each seed type. I could have grazed the bermuda in about a month in 2018 and drought was a bugger in 2019. I'll keep working the pH up and plant some Durana one of these years. For this year I top seeded crimson and a little ryegrass. To stay cheaper, I'd just do the GA Blend. [/QUOTE]
