Photograph of pasture establishing. Bermuda grass pasture sodded on land recently cleared with a bulldozer. The brush has been windrowed and will be left in the field for the conservation of wildlife, erosion control and for residue to improve the soil. Rotation grazing will be practiced in this pasture. Vetch, hop clover and Korean lespedeza will be overseeded in the Bermuda grass. The Bermuda was fertilized with 200 pounds of 0-20-0 fertilizer at the time of sprigging. Owner plans control of mullen in pasture. OK-293-11.

Photograph of improved pasture. Livestock grazing in a Bermuda and clover pasture. This pasture is only 50 acres but carries 40 head of cattle and 100 goats for 10 months of the year.

Proper grazing is practiced to conserve grass in this pasture. OK-293-10.
