Then you will likely need a couple hundred in fertilizer and maybe $100 of seed. Start now to get ready for a fall plot.

From there, you can evaluate what your particular herd is missing and give it to them, or just make it a fall attraction plot. Figure out what you want out of it.
How much acreage is usaully good? I don't want to make them too big but then again i dont know much about it at all. Is liming necessary?
