Over this seven-month period, a planting generally can carry one to two horses, 2 to 5 head of 400 to 600 pound beef cattle, or 2 to 3 cows and calves per acre. Growing cattle will gain about 1\/2 to 1 pound per day, if no additional feed is provided. Hay yields run from 5 to 10 tons per acre a season, harvested in about 6 cuttings.

For best results seed should be planted as near 1\/4 inch deep as possible. Do not plant too deep. It is a good practice to apply a light irrigation (or after planting in a moist seedbed). This keeps the soil from crusting and the seed moist. It will be about 90 days from date of planting until first harvest.
