Key Performance Features:

• Premium 6-Species Blend - Scientifically balanced for complementary growth and production
• 100% Endophyte-Free - Safe for all livestock including horses and breeding stock
• High Production - Optimized for irrigated conditions and maximum yield
• Season-Long Forage - Diverse species ensure continuous production
• Excellent Palatability - Livestock prefer this blend, leading to better intake
• Superior Nutrition - Balanced grass-legume mix for optimal livestock performance

Strategic 6-Species Blend Composition:

• Orchardgrass - High yield, excellent regrowth, tolerates close grazing, deep-rooted for drought periods
• Meadow Fescue - Superior palatability, winter hardy, excellent for rotational grazing
• Perennial Ryegrass - Rapid establishment, high quality, excellent livestock performance
• Timothy - Premium quality for horses, highly digestible, excellent hay component
• Alfalfa - High protein, nitrogen fixation, deep roots, superior nutritional value
• White Clover - Nitrogen fixation, fills lower canopy, excellent for grazing, high palatability

Endophyte-Free Advantage:

• 100% safe for horses, cattle, sheep, and all livestock classes
• Eliminates risk of fescue toxicosis and endophyte-related health issues
• No reproductive problems, poor weight gain, or heat stress from endophytes
• Safe for pregnant mares, breeding stock, and young animals
• Peace of mind for horse owners and livestock managers

Grass-Legume Balance Benefits:

• Nitrogen Fixation - Alfalfa and white clover reduce fertilizer needs and costs
• Protein Boost - Legumes increase overall protein content of pasture
• Extended Grazing - White clover stays green longer into fall
• Soil Improvement - Legume roots improve soil structure and fertility
• Balanced Nutrition - Grass-legume mix provides complete livestock nutrition

Season-Long Production:

• Early spring growth from orchardgrass and ryegrass
• Mid-season production from timothy and meadow fescue
• Continuous legume contribution throughout the season
• Extended fall grazing from white clover and ryegrass
• Diverse maturity dates ensure consistent forage availability
• No gaps in production during the grazing season

High Production Under Irrigation:

• Optimized species selection for irrigated conditions
• Maximizes yield potential with adequate moisture
• Responds vigorously to irrigation and fertility
• Superior regrowth between grazing cycles or cuttings
• Delivers maximum return on irrigation investment
• Supports high stocking rates and intensive management

Palatability & Livestock Performance:

• All species selected for excellent palatability and voluntary intake
• Livestock prefer this blend over monocultures
• High digestibility supports milk production and weight gain
• Balanced nutrition from grass-legume combination
• Timothy component especially valued for horses
• Improved livestock performance translates to better profitability

Stand Persistence & Durability:

• Diverse species ensure stand longevity and resilience
• If one species declines, others fill the gap
• White clover spreads to fill bare spots naturally
• Deep-rooted species maintain productivity during dry periods
• Winter-hardy components ensure reliable spring recovery
• Long-term productivity reduces reseeding frequency

Ideal For:

• Dairy Operations - High-quality forage for maximum milk production

• Hay Production - High-quality mixed grass-legume hay
• Pasture Renovation - Upgrade existing pastures with premium genetics
• New Seeding - Establish productive pastures from scratch

Seeding Guidelines:

• Seeding Rate: 25-35 lbs per acre depending on conditions and goals
• Coverage: Each 50 lb bag covers approximately 1.5-2 acres
• Planting Depth: 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep
• Best Timing: Spring or late summer/early fall seeding
• Soil Preparation: Firm, weed-free seedbed for optimal establishment
• Establishment: Allow 60-90 days before first grazing

Management Recommendations:

• Rotational grazing maximizes production and stand longevity
• Maintain 3-4 inch residual height to protect crowns and encourage regrowth
• Allow adequate rest periods between grazing cycles (21-35 days)
• Fertilize based on soil tests; legumes reduce nitrogen needs
• Irrigate consistently for maximum production potential
• Overseed thin areas to maintain dense, productive stands

Irrigation Management:

• Apply 1-1.5 inches of water per week during growing season
• Adjust irrigation based on rainfall and soil moisture
• Deep, infrequent watering encourages deep root development
• Proper irrigation maximizes yield and quality potential
• Monitor soil moisture to optimize water use efficiency
