[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 779961, member: 7509"] I just converted some corn ground to pasture this past spring. This is WI not TN. But I think the key point is to plant a MIXTURE of several locally adapted forages including a legume to fix N for the others. I used red clover for the legume, an innoculated persistent (=expensive) variety. Planted oats as a nurse crop. The mixture included a variety of grasses. Mowed the oats (before they shade everything else out) then mowed the rest, now just finished the first grazing. Looks good. Make sure your soil pH is correct for what you are planting. Good luck.
