[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 700464, member: 9"] Don't quite understand what the other guy meant by cost of maintaining bermuda not worth it... On other hand, if he meant growing it fast to make hay...yes, fertilizer costs. On our pastures here (Collingsworth County) we have natural bermudagrass pastures. No fertilizer other than cattle sheet. All it takes is water and in places where the cattle aren't eating it, it grows about 4-6" every 10 days. Our other place (Childress County) is in 3 or 4 different native type range grasses. Don't fertilize it either. Just rains on it. The grass grows up to 24" tall. Bermuda is a very tough grass that responds promptly to WATER. It can be dormant in the summer and with a little rain it greens up and starts growing again. Don't know if any of this helps... :) [/QUOTE]
