1. Eastern gamagrass: Growth since
cattle were removed June 11, 2004.
|
 |
2. Alfalfa field: Regrowth after May
20 hay removal. |
 |
3. Fescue/red clover pasture: Cattle
are being moved to another pasture paddock. Notice the remaining
forage available which will enable fast growth recovery.
|
 |
4. Sorghum sudangrass: Cattle removed
June 23, 2004. Approximately 60% stand due to not killing the
previous rye and white clover stand prior to seeding the sorghum
sudan. |
 |
5. Same sorghum sudangrass field:
Notice the white clover growth around the T-post. The "smother
crop effect" is very evident in lack of sorghum sudan stand
population.

About the Pasture Walk
This Pasture Walk was
organized by Keenan Turner, Pulaski County Agriculture and Natural
Resources Extension Agent. The Pasture Walk involves visiting a farm and
meeting with a farmer who is trying to maximize grazing and reduce the
need for baling hay. Some of these practices are unconventional and some
have not worked. This page is not a comprehensive overview of the trials
and errors. It is merely an introduction into the topic. If you have
questions regarding the Pasture Walk, please call or write Keenan Turner. |
