Name the new forum..... I think Latestarter summed it up. I like Pasture; Information and Management

I would make one small change, Pasture and Hay; Information and Management

And again, Latestarter is spot on, put it under the Fence forum.

I am so Excited!!! We are getting ONE place where we can get together and discuss pasture, grass, forbs, care, planting, feeding, and all that goes with caring for our pastures.

I was finding so many, even being selective, that I stopped :hide Time consuming for sure :) (hugs@Sumi )

I'd have no idea what to do when I get to the cattle/pasture section... Maybe that whole thing should move? @WildRoseBeef ? You're a pasture fanatic/guru, what say you? move it or leave it where it is, or maybe leave some/move some? I :bow to those more adept/knowledgeable than I.

Come on folks! jump right in here, the font is fine! ;)

Well, for one, if some of the pasture/grazing management articles from the cattle section--and there's a number of them--then that means that the title for the forum on feeding cattle will need to be changed. But I disagree that the whole shiz-an-caboodle should move because there's quite a few other articles in that forum that are pertaining to feeding cattle hay, silage, grain, and not necessarily pasture.

May have to rename the cattle feeding forum to Feed and Forages - Cattle, or even rename to reflect the rest of the other sections as Feeding Time - Cattle. I'm alright with either or, but personally prefer the former. :)

Now, can I suggest a change for the general pasture/hay management section? Pasture, Hay, and Forages: Information and Management. That way people see that the section CAN be talking about plants too (including weeds) and not just the management and information on hay production and grazing.

I might as well start selecting some articles to move into the pasture category from the Cattle section.
