North Central Texas | While you guys up north have been fighting the snow, we have been working through the mud trying to get my plans done. This place was farmed for decades by my grandfather and my dad. The hunt brothers (silver scheme boys) bought it in 72. We moved back on it in 2012. Hunts plowed ever acre and wrecked the place. Since we gained control of it, dad has been on my rear to put it back. Here is my plan that follows how it was farmed 40 years ago and we are about 50% done. New grass will be improved grass and mostly klein. The main pasture was sprigged into Bermuda that I rested and got back in shape after being heavily overgrazed. The fields will be wheat for grazing in the winter and crabgrass in the summer. I plan to keep 400 pair per year on this place but 600 may not be out of the question.
The first pic is the original fences. The second is the Bermuda that is completed with cross fences. We are working on the north and east parcels with fencing and grass establishment.
