On another thread I asked for information regarding pasture clipping to control unwanted weeds. Had a lot of good responses - thanks!

I am now clipping the pastures - it is now fall here (Australia). I am more of a hobby farmer, but live in an area with real farmers that run cattle and various row crops.

I notice a lot of the neighboring farmers have the same weed problem in their pastures that I have - yet I seem to be the only one slashing! A lot of them are driving by, slowing down, and taking a good look. I'm starting to think -"Am I doing something wrong"?

I'm thinking that as I slash the tall 'bad' grass, I also slash the 'good' tall grass. My plan is to fertilize and then overseed with a short 'good' grass and keep up the slashing program. I figure if I keep the pasture slashed all will work out in the end. Am I right???

Don't know about your grasses. Some grasses come back from seed. Some come back from the roots. If it comes back only from seed, and if it goes to seed only after it gets fairly tall, you should be able to cut it regularly before it goes to seed and eventually get rid of most of it. May take several seasons. If it comes back from roots, then it is ROUNDUP time.

in that you are "down under" im not sure which grasses you are refering to. but some"bad" grasses will only grow when you have a nutrient imbalance in your soil. your might check that. your idea of having several types of grass is great, that is the way they grow in nature--not in momocultures.
