No Drill Needed To Reseed Pastures When it comes to reseeding and regenerating his pastures, Russ Wilson lets his cattle do the work. Not only do they reseed, b...ut they also fertilize at the same time, and they keep fence lines free of grass. I feed the herd a mineral mix daily, spreading it in a line alongside a fence, explains Wilson. When I want to reseed a particular pasture, I mix grass seed with the mineral about 48 hrs. before moving them into that paddock. It takes about that long for the seed to pass through the cow. I do have to take care to be sure the grass seed isn’t treated. He notes that when the cow deposits the seed with her manure, it has already started to germinate. In his biologically active pastures, dung beetles, earthworms and others quickly break down the manure, leaving the grass seed to root and grow.
