West Texas
I'd at least look into what native grasses thrive in your area, and consult with your agent about which are most palatable to your livestock. There should be seed companies specializing in native grasses in your area. Some grasses are more herbicide-resistant than others, so I would for sure want to plant as wide a spectrum of warm- and cool-season grasses as possible.

The switchgrasses and tall bluestems do great on riverbottoms, and the bluestems are good midsize grasses. The short grasses like bristlegrass would predominate on hilltops. If you plan your planting accordingly, you'll maximize chances of a successful stand of grass.
