winter Rye for the goats

This summer we planted Cow Peas, Millet and Sorghum Sudan grass over an acre. After the bucklings were finished we put 40 does in for a couple weeks as the clean up crew to eat as much as possible. The does cleaned them all up by October 7th. The peas were so thick that no weeds survived so we had a clean area with only Pea and Millet stubble. October 14 after a good rain I no-tilled in about 70lbs of Wrens Abruzzi Grain Rye and about 20lbs coated Crimson Clover then came back and broad cast another 20lbs of Rye Grass. I put out 2 bags of 34-0-0 ammonium nitrate. We had some warm days and the Rye is really taking off. It will be a nice Christmas present for the does.
