Grasses Improve Ranch Grazing At Prather Ranch
Prather Ranch seeded over 80 acres of old cropland in spring 1970 with native and introduced grasses. Wes Woodard overseeded May 1970 using the Upper Leon Soil and Water Conservation District drill. Despite below average rainfall and a slow start, the grasses survived drought and frost and are now ready to graze, offering more forage than nearby native rangeland.
