Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation
Photograph of the Hills Brothers Ranch, Fairfield, Texas. A herd of registered polled Herefords grazing upon improved Bermuda and carpet grass pasture. A heavy growth of trees and underbrush was cleared from the area about 3 years ago and where the carrying capacity was about unit to 8 acres it is now 1 animal unit to 1½ acres. This pasture was not seeded after clearing but grazing has been controlled. “We had one 300-acre brush pasture that used to carry only about 35 head,” said Mr. Hill, “but now that it has been cleared and improved it will carry a cow to the acre.” See TX-41, 125 for area typical of this pasture before improvement. TX-41, 121.
