| I run stockers and try to graze them as much as possible, so the pens on our farm are only used for about a month around December and January and also briefly when we buy cattle in late summer and early spring. In late summer we get loads in and try to get them out and grazing within 5 days. Some years they get pretty muddy and trampled up in the winter depending on the weather of course.
They always grow up with weeds over the summer so I was thinking I could plant some cereal rye or annual ryegrass in them probably by broadcasting seed in the fall and hopefully it would make seed and keep coming back every year. The calves could get a little grazing and it would keep the weeds down. Maybe it would have to be reseeded on years the winter is too wet and it gets destroyed.
Has anyone done this or used a different grass and had success? My location is Washington county in northeast Ks. | |
