[QUOTE="Walking W, post: 1408220, member: 24986"] I broadcast Ryegrass the past three years with good results some areas are under trees with little permanent grass and others are good bermuda. Ryegrass planted in the winter allows me to utilize in areas where I have many trees in my pasture. This year I planted back in October but rains here didn't cooperate as previous years. It takes about six weeks before you can safely turn cattle out on it without having the grass pulled up by the roots. The grass still won't be worth much at that point. It takes at least 60 days for much real grazing to be available, depending on temperature and rainfall. I have been rotational grazing my ryegrass using electric fence for about a month while using hay for the balance of the feed. Annual Ryegrass is high in protein and TDN and cattle will eat more than they can utilize efficiently. Limiting grazing and pasture rotation as suggested by everyone here is a good idea. [/QUOTE]
