I have some 25 acres in b-dahl Grass that has established itself well. My longhorns do not eat it all. I need to know the best overall maintenance for the grass.
Do I have to cut it every year? If yes when is the best time to cut it once for that year? Near end of the season so new grass comes in clean?
What happens if I do not cut it for maybe 2 yrs? What happens if I let it go for 3 yrs?

If my cattle do not eat it all is it a good ground cover grass that is permanent? If I never cut it is that all right?

The cost and time for me to mow it on my small 5 ft bush hog is not real effective.

There is enough mesquites that getting it cut by other ranchers for sale is not an option. I am working on killing out the mesquite. Any ideas there as well other than round-up?
Thx Lo
