How do I improve my pasture for cattle?
Soil test and lime if pH is below 6.0 (most pastures need it). Overseed with improved grass-legume mix, fertilize per soil test, implement rotational grazing, and control invasive weeds. Pasture renovation pays back over 5-10 years through increased stocking rates and better calf weights.
