Greg shares a strip grazing tip with you! 

I wish I had enough land to let my grass seed better or better yet I hope it rain this year.

Thanks!

I’ve already claimed it for a rabitat home for bunnies!! Going to cover it with brush and let the rabbits have a condominium.

Kentucky 31 is what we plant on areas that we have cleared with a skid steer. It grows well here and is $1 a pound not $5 a pound like the new fescue brands.

I will remember that!

We buy hay in June and July.

Yes if they are big enough, they need at least 8-10” of red in the center of the log to make a decent saw log.

I like both hills mixed with flat sections of land. The hilly land comes in very handy in wet rainy periods, it drains off faster to prevent pugging.

They were not Timeless Posts, although they were trying them out to see how they performed. Another company made them and they did not measure up to our Obrien Posts.

In my inexperienc I ordered the timeless step in posts, honestly I don't like them a lot, however my farm is quite rocky so that tends to make a big difference. I'm sure you could manage with them if your ground isn't rocky!

The seed bag that you buy will have it printed on the seed tag.

@Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher thanks for the reply. So I guess you planted this grass then. I have "wild" fescue that I was trying to ID, but I gave up. Lol. So does the tall fescue work as well as K31? That's the only fescue my local feed and seed carries

I did not plant this grass. It covers the whole Midwest. What they are calling Tall Fescue might be Kentucky 31. What is the price per pound that they are asking for it? This will give me a good answer for you.

@Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher Ah, I didn't know they were the same. I don't remember the exact price. It was a little north of $100 for a 50lb bag. I price checked a few weeks ago when I got 2 50 lbs bags of gulf annual rye for $40 each. I don't know how those prices compare for you, but I'm in rural SC. Not many choices of stores here so that may drive up our prices

Sounds like plain like Kentucky 31 fescue seed to me. The newer varieties are $5 per pound or more

Not sure if they are yet.

43560 sq ft per acre

@@dustinneuhalfen1845 Simple to look up, I didn't know it, and took 5 seconds to confirm the figure. I am not sure why you gave me the square feet per acre. My query was, "How do you take the number of head, calculate the height of the pasture, and how much pasture you want left when you give them another in half a day, and figure the square feet you will give them for half a day." My thought, wing it at first, spend time out there with them, watching, gauging how close it's coming to the exit height, are they complaining, getting too much dung and urine to find clean grass to eat... As I said, I figure it's a matter of experience.

@@dustinneuhalfen1845 I just got a video in my feed from 9 days ago, I missed it. Greg mapped out exactly what I was asking yesterday. "Greg explains how to calculate how much winter stockpile to give your livestock with daily moves." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vlK_lvOhZzA.html He even demonstrates a Grazing Stick from the USDA and NRCS. He shows the math, the whole thing. Thanks for commenting. Best, Tom
