Down here farther south we plant oats toward the end of September for winter grazing. I would think this would work in Centeral Texas also, unless the planting time would be different. Don't know if you'd consider oats as grass, but cattle love it, its good for them and it survives through freezes. (At least the kind of cold spells we get here in South Texas)
