You are right Nancy, I meant to say some type of weed killer such as 24D. And unless he is wanting to overseed or grow a hay crop for cutting, I wouldn't put any equipment on the surface. The buffalo and cattle have been trampling the ground for thousands of years, I wouldn't worry about compaction now for grazing ground. SDPete had the basic solution although heavy brush may be taken care of quicker with a burning. Get rid of the weeds and add some fertilizer and the native grasses will come back.
Spend the money on fencing to help avoid spot grazing by rotating cattle but then 50 acres won't hold than many cows to start with.
For my brome pasture, my agent said to give it some nitrogen for a couple years in a row and it will take off and burn the brushy stuff and plum thickets during the winter.
