Plant structure is close to what timothy looks like, but that may be because they are new seedlings. All of the cool seasons I can identify have headed, so it may be warm season. Very small seeds. Any guesses? Left -Right Fescue, Orchard, Timothy, mystery grass. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/rhQTFTm.jpg)

Looks like young Spear Grass... aka Texas Wintergrass or Heteropogon Contortus. Spear GrassMaybe not though. The "shafts are too short. Can you grab one of those spindly shafts and pull it out of the seed pod - and do they have a barbed spear at the end?

Can you grab one of those spindly shafts and pull it out of the seed pod - and do they have a barbed spear at the end? I'll take a look Looks like a panic grass - maybe green panic just starting to seed out I'll look into it You guys are at a disadvantage because we are scattered all over the country. However, I've been beating the bushes here, Closest thing I've found local was Reeds canary grass, but it was bigger and more robust from the thickness of the stand to the size of the plant. I suppose I should feel good about finding all these new species this year. Seems like a good problem to have with the new grazing managment. Thanks for the help

We have a rye grass (not to be confused with rye) that favors that. Not sure if it is native to your locale.

Maybe we're all happy.
