Photograph of young purebred bull calves on Dallis grass-white clover summer pasture. Through the last several years this field has come into a solid stand of Dallis grass and white clovers. Seeding has occurred mainly from droppings from areas previously established with Dallis grass and clovers. Also seeds have beebn spread by feeding Dallis grass-clover hay. One ton of lime each 8 years and 300 pounds of super-phosphates each 3 years are being applied to this field. This pasture, according to Mr. Wyatt, has a carrying capacity of a cow and a calf per acre. This farm unit consists of some 90 acres of Bermuda base pasture and 10 acres of Dallis grass pasture. The pasture supports some 50 purebred beef cows for some 10 months per year. Land Capability Class I 7-FC. Slight erosion.

Photograph of J. H. Hanks' Purebred Holstein dairy herd grazing on Bermuda-clover summer pasture. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Land Capability Class I – 7 FC. Slight erosion. Purebred Holstein dairy herd grazing on Bermuda-clover summer pasture. Bermudagrass roots were mechanically planted in the field in Spring, 1949 on a well prepared on a well prepared seedbed with Kiamichi SCD equipment. 2 tons of lime and 200 pounds of super-phosphate were applied before planting and 150 pounds of complete fertilizer were applied at planting time. Ladino, yellow hop, Persian clovers and Korean lespedeza were overseeded in 1949 and 1950. Some Dallis grass [sic] has come in naturally. Former owner established much of the clovers by feeding clover hay. The pasture is in its 4th grazing season. Mr. Hanks figures the carrying capacity of the pasture to be around the equivalent of one cow and calf per acre. He has other land that he is extending this type of pasture to."
