Management and recommendations
- Test soil and follow lime and fertilizer recommendations
- Soil pH should be 6.0 to 7.0
- Plan acreage needed (0.5 to 0.8 acre/cow+calf)
- Graze or hay warm-season grasses to about two inch height before planting
- Disturb sod with light disking and plant 20 lbs/acre
- Crimson clover will provide grazing from mid-February to late May
- Will also provide about 100 lb nitrogen/acre that will be available to
warm-season grasses through nutrient cycling - Can be managed for reseeding by terminating grazing about April 15
