Default Need a little help

Ok, here's my situation. We are going to clearcut 25 acres of land in a few weeks. This piece has only pine on it and I have heard that by default the soil will be acidic? The main reason we are clearing this piece is to sell some timber and them to make a big pasture, maybe even grow some crops too.

So, what can I start with on a soil like this? I was told Kentucky 31 would be good for grazing and cover crop rye seems to be the seed to go with overall. I want something that stays green all year around and is good for horses and deer. I would probably split the land up between different seeds to see what works best. What would you recommend? Oh and a soil test will be done as soon as they are done clearing it.

Thanks a bunch!
