[QUOTE="simme, post: 1811986, member: 40418"] Bermuda sprigs grow and spread horizontal before they grow vertical. And develop a root system pretty quick. If it is 8-10" tall, has it covered the ground already? Grab a piece of those 8-10" tall runners and pull it vertical. If you pull a bunch of root out of the ground, the cows will do the same. If the stem breaks off above the ground, I think the cows will not pull the roots out. But only 3 weeks after sprigging seems too soon to graze. Once the roots take a good hold and the ground is covered, man or cows will not be able to do much damage by grazing or mowing. Sprigs from June should have a bit of stored energy and quickly develop a good root system under those ideal growing conditions. Seeded bermuda or early spring sprigs would be slower to establish a good root system. Grab a handful and pull to get a better idea of the strength of the roots. [/QUOTE]
