[QUOTE="novatech, post: 953640, member: 5494"] I would think that it is really to late to see any benefit from herbicide or shredding. If the canopy is thick there is likely no grass underneath. It is to late in the season for the warm season grasses to start. However if there is grass below then by all means go for it. The second part of situation is that at this time of year most weeds are setting seed. It may already be to late to see any benefit for reducing next seasons weed crop. Whar you can do is knock it down with either herbicide or shredding and then plan a cool season forage. At this time I would not stock the pasture until you know you have forage. It is hard to come out when you start off your operation feeding hay. With all this work in front of you I hope you are getting this pasture at only the cost of the improvments you need to make.
