[QUOTE="JWBrahman, post: 1122667, member: 18439"] That is a 20 acre pasture so I just grabbed 20 of the 40 lb bags that cost $3.97. Used a regular lawn spreader. Counted fence posts until I went about 200 feet then made a box shaped pattern. Not really sure why I look so much better than my Aunt's place. We both had similar stocking rates last spring. Her place was open from November until March without any cattle. One thing I did that was different was burn the old stands of Bermuda in late October. I also clipped the seed heads on the rye grass to prolong the growing season, which can over seed for the next year. That little bit of lime really works well when you get a lot of rain, too. The soil test showed there was a lot of nitrogen locked up in the heavy clay just waiting to get out with lime and rain. [/QUOTE]
