Since closing on our ranch in Dec, I've been struggling with the idea of smoothing out the pasture or just living with it for a couple of seasons. I've learned that the pasture was sprigged Coastal Bermuda but that was over 6 years ago. The neighbor had been baling and grazing it during that time and his cattle certainly stayed happy but I'm sure the guy baling it wasn't!!
Now that I've had to mow it and replace several shear pins, I'm headed more in the direction of smoothing the ground. What would you recommend doing to smooth the pasture yet not completely ruin the pasture grass?
I did run a disc and harrow over about 4 acres as an experiment and it turned out alright but not perfect...I probably should've ran the harrow over it a couple more times when it was dry...It needs a good revitalizing and if I have to re-grade and re-seed the pastures in phases, I'm more than open to that. Having a smooth pasture to mow and play in is better than saving the grass thats there....i think!
Appreciate the Feedback!
