[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 979761, member: 17304"] you should have alot of fescue and orhardgrass...do you? All of our seed down here comes pretty much from Oregon. Those are the 2 main ones that work for me. Plus you have ryegrass and cereal rye too. MIG and IRG are just a play on words IMO. It is a system that restricts the cattle movement and access to pasture. When cattle can go from one end of the farm to the other and graze whenever and wherever they want, your tall grasses become short grasses with short root systems. Overgrazing ....the worst thing one can do to a pasture. many think they can fertilize, spread manure, compost and overcome it. i 've done all that and a year or two later its just right back where I started. Stripgrazing is just allotting a little more everyday of the same field, more often than not it allows backgrazing, which means they still have access to what they been over before, which is not too big a deal this time of year, because grass isn't growing hardly any. But when grass does begin to start growing in the early spring the backgrazing needs to be stopped or the cattle will go to the new shoots of grass and bite it off every few days....then that starts the whole overgrazing problem again.
