I have some pasture that we use for feeder cattle. It is a high traffic area. What would be good to plant in this area? There are about 120 head on 15 acres. It is currently in fescue, but I was looking to overseed this fall. I was thinking maybe annual rye or wheat. The main purpose would be to hold the ground. What seeding rate would you use?

Is there a grass that would hold up to 8 head of cattle per acre? Even with extensive rotational?

Annual Rye would be a option.10-20# per acre depending if your current stand.It would be fairly cheap @ $1.00 per lb $10-20 per acre.I have some pasture that we use for feeder cattle.
