High Elevation Mix
High Elevation Mix combines four cool-season pasture grasses with four forage legumes. Timothy, orchardgrass, tall fescue and intermediate rye provide a diverse grass base, while clovers and trefoil add complementary broadleaf forage.
Mix Components
Four cool-season pasture grasses and four forage legumes provide multiple growth habits within a diversified high-elevation 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 Higher-Elevation Pasture
The mix brings together several cool-season grasses and legumes to create a varied irrigated pasture stand.
Cool-Season Grass Diversity
Tall fescue, orchardgrass, timothy and intermediate rye provide several grass growth habits within the same pasture.
Four Forage Legumes
Red, Ladino and strawberry clovers together with trefoil add broadleaf forage and additional plant diversity.
Biological Nitrogen Fixation
Successfully inoculated and nodulated legumes can fix atmospheric nitrogen within the pasture system.
Mixed Forage Structure
Grasses and legumes provide different leaf forms, plant structures and growth patterns within the established stand.
Higher-Elevation Focus
The formulation is intended for irrigated pasture situations where a high-elevation pasture mix is preferred.
Grazing Pasture Option
High Elevation Mix provides a multi-species forage option for livestock operations establishing or renovating pasture.
Establish Before Livestock Are Introduced
Allow a new pasture seeding to become well established before grazing begins. Once established, rotational grazing and adequate recovery periods can help maintain the grasses and legumes within the stand.
Pasture Management Note: Pasture performance varies with elevation, irrigation, soil fertility, planting timing, grazing pressure, stocking rate and local growing conditions. New plantings should be well established before grazing begins.
