Newbie to pasture management here:
I have a couple small K31 pastures that I keep a couple horses on, and I was wondering if there is an optimal time to mow it. Both pastures are new and were first tilled/seeded in September 2019. I tilled about 5-6 inches deep, then smoothed it and planted the K31. The horses eat a lot of it, but in patchy areas. In the tallest area the grass is about 9 inches.
I'm in central NC. There is a couple inches of sandy topsoil, with hard clay underneath. So many rocks you would think I was growing them.
