Use Warm Season Pasture Mix for summer forage when cool season pastures lose productivity. It contains a powerhouse of native grasses to produce the best possible hay and forage production in the heat of summer. Bonanza Big Bluestem and Scout Indiangrass have exceptional in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), which increases animal rate of gain significantly. Trailway Sideoats Grama adds another palatable, high-quality grass that aids in stand establishment.
Forage quality is best when grazed or hayed as heads start to appear. Leaving these grasses to grow to maturity will decrease palatability and forage quality. With adequate moisture or irrigation, established stands can also be grazed or cut early; then rested to provide additional forage in late summer.
Do not overgraze, as this can slow or stop root growth, which extends recovery time and promote weed invasion. Adding 50 Lbs./Ac of Nitrogen fertilizer annually in spring will help keep plants productive. Maximum production will be achieved when used in a well-managed, rotational grazing program.
Plant mid-spring through early summer, and best if left ungrazed until year 2.
