I like Dave's fescue idea but I would sub an annual ryegrass for the oats. Annual ryegrass gives you cover about as quick as oats but is more "yard-like". The annual ryegrass would winterkill within a couple years leaving just the fescue. A 50# bag of ryegrass would be perfect for 3 acres and only cost about $37 total.
