Hello,
Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm new to this board and raising cattle. The master plan is to work another 10 years and while building my 60 acres into a multi-million dollar enterprise ( or into a "I'll try not to lose as much moneythis year honey.....). I have been hanging around here for a while and finally decided to ask a question.
I keep hearing the words "summer pasture" or "winter pasture" and was wondering do you actually plant cool season grasses on one and warm season grasses on another, or is it best to mix all the grasses together?
Right now I've got bermuda in one pasture and orchard grass and clover in the other. I've also got a couple of more with fescue. I'm trying to stay away from alfalfa right now, because my hay making equipment and ability are about 50 years behind the times. I've heard that alfalfa leaves shatter if not done right.
Thanks for the info in advance,
