overseeding native grass

I have a small pasture that is in native grasses like blue stem, indian grass and others which I am not sure of but they all seem to be warm season grasses. The pasture is a little sparse and was thinking of doing some overseeding as I use this pasture to graze cattle from spring to fall. Does anyone have recomendations on what to overseed into sparse prairie grasses. I was thinking maybe alfalfa or clovers but am open to any thoughts. Or maybe just plant some more native species. I live in south central Kansas.

I am in N. Texas and like to use Fescue, the tall growing variety. It is hardy, self reseeds annually, and is green all but the hottest months. Once you get it established you're there. But, you may need to cultivate to get a seedbed for establishment. Since it does well at the cooler temps, might be worth a try for you being as you are North of me. It also survives well in damp conditions, like on the back side of a pond dam.

Cows like it and get fat on it too.

Doug,

I would ask the local county extension agent for recommendations, they should be able to give you an idea of what will work in your area. Depending on what the precipitation is in your area will determine what you will be able to plant. I have all cool season grasses, mainly orchard, but have frost seeded some white dutch clover in. I would like to seed some warm season grasses in so that I have something growing during the hotter time of the year.
