Dairy Pasture Mix
Dairy Pasture Mix combines five cool-season pasture grasses with red, Ladino and strawberry clovers. The diverse formulation is designed for managed irrigated pasture where a productive grass-and-legume stand is desired.
Mix Components
Five grasses and three clovers combine several forage growth habits within a diversified irrigated pasture.
Mix Component Note: Mix components are subject to change based on seed availability. Substitutions may be made with comparable species or varieties when necessary.
Diverse Forage for Irrigated Pasture
Multiple grasses and clovers provide complementary forage types and growth patterns within a managed dairy pasture.
Five-Grass Combination
Tall fescue, festulolium, intermediate rye, orchardgrass and tetraploid annual ryegrass provide several grass growth habits within one pasture.
Clover Diversity
Red, Ladino and strawberry clovers add broadleaf forage and additional plant diversity to the grass-based stand.
Biological Nitrogen Fixation
Properly inoculated and nodulated clovers can fix atmospheric nitrogen, contributing nitrogen within the pasture system.
Mixed Forage Canopy
Grasses and clovers create different leaf shapes, plant heights and growth patterns compared with a single-species pasture.
Irrigated Pasture Fit
The mix is designed for managed irrigated pasture systems where adequate moisture supports continued forage growth.
Dairy Pasture Focus
The formulation provides a diversified grass-and-clover option for dairy operations establishing or renovating irrigated pasture.
Give New Pasture Time to Establish
New pasture seedlings need sufficient root development before livestock are introduced. Allow the stand to become well established before beginning grazing, then manage the pasture with appropriate grazing and recovery periods.
Pasture Management Note: Pasture performance varies with irrigation, soil fertility, planting timing, grazing pressure, stocking rate and local growing conditions. New plantings should be well established before grazing begins.
