[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1707987, member: 5381"] I agree with fence. I put out oats and Rye Grass together (mostly oats). The goal is to have the rye grass establish itself somewhat after a few years. It seems to be working on the pastures where I disc first. not so much where it is just broadcast. I also put out some on un-disced fields using a drill and a culti-packer. This has mixed results. What I planted three weeks ago is about 1 1/2" tall. I try to get some going in each of my pastures so when I rotate the cows through, they have a little bit of something green. This is also counter- productive as it doesn't have enough time to establish itself as it would in a field that was ungrazed. I have one 45 acre field that I do give enough time to get going good. I put stockers on it when its about 6" tall and leave them on it up until about March and then let it grow up to bale in late April or early May. This provides most of the hay for the whole place. This 45 acre field gets disced and planted first and also gets the most fertilizer. I like the mixed oats and rye grass hay. The cows do well on it and since it is rolled out, it replants some seed and gives you some additional early spring grazing. [/QUOTE]
