[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 807802, member: 8973"] novatech I have tried a variety of plants to do just the same function. The time period you stated is a difficult one for me as this is usually the driest time of the year here. Complicating this, my fescue has gone dormant and I did not want to prepare a seedbed and damage the fescue. I do stockpile for this time period and I also want to have something to boost the protein of the dormant fescue being fed. My early establishment of the RRCG was not the greatest but Red River Crab grass has done OK from the second year forward. I broadcast the RRCG into the stockpiled fescue at a 120% rate, let the cattle walk it in and the initial stand was still marginal. RRCG is an indeterminate plant and given a chance to naturally reseed it seems to eventually establish. Here is a copy and paste of the RRCG benefits. "Red River' has tested to be 73% digestible. Crude protein levels begin as high as 25-30% early in the season to 15-20% mid summer and 10% late in the season" [/QUOTE]
