[QUOTE="Central Fl Cracker, post: 434591, member: 1921"] I am currently running 50 cows on 135 ac. with 4 each 30ac + paddocks. I will need about 2.5 rolls of hay for the winter which will cost me about $5500 for the winter. I am thinking about planting one of the 30ac. blocks in winter rye to save on hay cost. A couple of questions will help me make this decision. 1. What will the approximate cost be since I will have to hire someone to disk and seed. 2. When should I disk and seed this area. 3. How tall should the rye be before I put cows in this block 4. How long will the paddock of rye take me into the winter 5. The current pasture is pensacola bahia and I am thinking about planting Tifton 9 in the spring or should I just use this paddock for winter grazing and save the cost of rediscing and seeding the Tifton.
