[QUOTE="JRM, post: 566310, member: 3282"] I am a long way from you so not sure how it would work where you are, but what I done in pass is run a disc with no cut set on the disc over the pasture. What it does is scratch the ground and make it a litle easier for the seed to have ground contact, without really plowing up the pasture. Then I would run a 3pt seeder and have a cattle panel or 2 dragging behind tractor. This seemed to give the seed a little better contact with the ground. A short pasture is the best when overseeding. I have run a chisel plow with just spikes on it and it has helped pasture. For about 2 or 3 weeks I would see less forage, then (with timely rain) I would see more and more forage. I did this usually in late winter/early spring time. Bermuda grass (what I have in pasture) like to have the soil distrubed ever once in a while. I also second the suggestion on clover. Clover has really helped my pasture and gives some good grazing in late winter early spring, sometimes if I am lucky get some grazing in fall as well. Like I said I am a long way from you so not sure how it would work in your neck of the woods. Good luck [/QUOTE]
