[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 754979, member: 43"] Right, you would sure want to avoid rye or ryegrass at this time, much too late in the year to get any "mileage" out of them in Texas. Consider pearl millet for now and summer, as it is pretty drought tolerant and under the right conditions can produce a heck of a lot of forage and/or hay. In addition to millet, haygrazer, sorghum alum, and various of the other "cane" grasses are good for "new ground" in my area of Texas and I assume that they would also be good in your part of the state. If I were you I'd hold off on the permanent pasture for a year or two, since you will no doubt continue to have a lot of problems with resprouts and/or seed germination of greenbriar and other undesirable grasses, weeds, shrubs and trees. Turning the soil several times during the year, along with use of Grazon or some similar product, should help you to get rid of much of the junk that you would not want in the field as a competitor to your permanent grasses such as bermuda.
