Go Brangus!

Well, we had our ranch manager go out and inspect our sale cattle for San Antonio and he gave us a thumbs up! 

We are just two weeks away from the 21st Annual San Antonio All Breed Sale. Go visit our website for all the sale information and for the list of cattle we have consigned. http://www.jasikhayfarms.com/page05.html

We have had some much needed rain here in South Texas and with this mild weather the grass is greening up already. If you were considering sprigging, with this rain now is a great time to prepare your land.  Give us a call and get on our sprigging list!

Come out and join us for what should be a great cattle sale Wednesday the 15th of February!!!

Time to Sprig!

Whether it's for graze land or you're wanting to raise hay for your own stock.  Now is the time to prepare for or begin your sprigging job.  We offer custom sprigging for any amount of acreage and all of our sprigs are irrigated and fertilized. We offer Coastal and Tiffton 85.


Coastal Bermuda grass is more drought and grazing tolerant than most grasses.  It also has a finer stem and leaf. Coastal Bermuda grass is an aggressive grower.  It does well in South Texas and the Coastal Bend area. 


Tiffton 85 is a taller grass with a larger stem and broader leaf than other Bermuda grass hybrids. Tiffton 85 also tends to have a higher yield.  Here is a link that goes into more detail on the benefits of planting Tifton 85:  http://www.tifton.uga.edu/fat/tifton85.htm 


Freshly dug sprigs are much more ideal for planting then tops or "clippings".  Growing conditions have to be much more favorable for the tops to succeed.
So, start getting your land prepared to improve your graze land with a quality Bermuda grass!
