[QUOTE="mdt192, post: 1619552, member: 28762"] Due to the wet and relatively mild winter (so far), I have left a group of my cows on a hay (fescue/native) pasture I let them get the last harvest on in mid-October. I pulled them off yesterday to bring them home to calf before they go to spring pasture. This helped with hay needs greatly. Seemed like the grass never totally stopped growing; however, the upper area of my hay field is now a mess. It's about a 5 acre area that is pretty muddy and rutted up now. How do I go about fixing this and the rut from my trail going through it? It will have to have some ground work done for sure. Current idea is to hit the bad rut spots with the dozer and come behind that with the disk to smooth it out and spread some of the hay / manure. Should I look at seeding an annual at the same time? Or, will the grass start back up? I hope it to be dry enough to have the ground work done by mid / late March. [/QUOTE]
