Pig cover crop

I have a couple bags of deer cover crop but it has a lot of sugar beet seed and radish’s and the sort. It will plant a 1/4 acre which happens to be a section of the corral I’m currently not using. I was thinking of spreading the seed with a lawn seeder then putting all the horses and 4h steers in the pen for rhe day to bury the seeds. What do you think will it work.

Hi Hank;  You bet that will work to get the seeds under some dirt and give them some  fertilizer to boot.
This time of year you might need to water a bit as well.

My husband grew up on his parent’s dairy farm.  But the pigs paid off the farm mortgage in a few short years, not the cows.  They always planted a paddock for them with root crops, turnips, radish, beets, and let them on it a little at the time (40 head of breeding stock).  They grew fast on the root vegetables and rooted and tilled it up.  I assume they just rolled it in with a tractor implement, or maybe they ran the cows over it, don’t know.  But I think you are on to something, planting the root crops for them.  They also gave them leftover milk or whey.
