Growing oat hay

[Hog_Hunter_57]

I have grown lots of oat hay out west. Now that i live in north east texas around mt pleasant i have a few questions.
1 when do you plant.
2 what type of oats do you plant?
3 when do you fertilize
I am only growing this for my self but i will be horse hay so i will not use chicken littler.
If any one has grown it up here please let me know what you did or what has worked for you.
