[QUOTE="houstoncutter, post: 173988, member: 807"] This is a subject that i have wrestled with in the past.... In my area we usually always have enough moisture, sometimes too much as well... If its too wet you cant let graze, and you cant apply anymore fertilizer... I uesd to plant a prepared seedbed or at least drag a disk to cut the sod before I planted. Many times I have had a good planting and the weather just didnt work for me.... The change that I have made and it seems more cost effective is this. I seed and fertilize with a low nitrogen my pastures that will be used. Then I mow these pastures , this puts a cover over the seed and the fertilizer. Very seldom will I get any grazing before January, but I always get a good stand for late winter grazing. This might not work for you in your part of the country, but it is a nice low cost way planting ryegrass and mowing those pastures at the same time. As for if its worth it. The rate of extra gain for your calves on their dams is hard to beat. [/QUOTE]
