We recommend planting this mixture on well-prepared PLOWED GROUND. Plant the spring/summer blend April 1 – October 1 and plant the fall/winter blend October 1 – April. For best results, graze this annual blend only once it reaches a minimum of 8 in. in height, NOT BEFORE. If your cattle graze this down to 4 in., please remove and allow the crop to retune.

SEEDMAN’S TIP: Oldtimers say when the first cow lays down, it means it’s time run the others out of there! Graze them hard 4 to 6 hours a day and remove in the evening to get the most out of this blend.
