Pasture Care

Bobl1958 · Apr 19, 2014

I have a lot of heavy and tall grass in my pasture from last
year. Just wondering if it would be good for it to rotary
mow it so the new grass can get some sun, or if it will
come on just as good regardless? Any thoughts on this. I
would like to burn it off, but we are so dry here in Central
Ks there is a burn ban on right now. Thanks for the input -

I would put some animals in there and don't feed them, Just water. They will clean it up.

I would buy protein suppliment with what fuel would cost and graze it.

Mowing leaves clumps of grass that smothers the new growth. You'd be better of leaving it or grazing it. Fire is my first choice but politicians have blocked that tool around here anymore.

BTW- there's lots of stuff goats won't eat. They are about the pickiest eaters on our farm.
