It’s January. It’s cold and snow is on the ground. Why in the world should you be thinking about Pasture Grass Seeds of any sort this time of year? As with anything in life, it is always smart to plan ahead. It’s better to have time and do some research on what you really need rather than scramble at the last minute hoping you can get the correct pasture grass seeds.

So what exactly are Pasture Grasses? Pasture Grass Seeds were developed to help Farmers and Ranchers improve the health and yield of their life stock while working with nature. There are many different types of pasture grasses so it is important to think of your climate and your soil when trying to determine which will work best for you. A pasture grass seed to keep in mind, no matter what your pasture needs, is one that contains High Sugar Grasses (HSG).

What are High Sugar Grasses? HSG is the term given to new ryegrass varieties that have been bred to contain very high sugar. They make thick, lush pastures and are very weather tolerable. They can withstand hot, dry summers and biter cold winters. The sugar gives them extra energy to quickly re-grow after grazing and they help crowd out weeds. What can High Sugar Grasses

(HSGs) mean for your livestock? Well, it can mean beefier cattle, more milk and larger goats and sheep. HSGs have also been known to improve digestibility, boost energy and reduce the need for supplements. This can save you money on your supplement feed bills and is a all around benefit for both you and your livestock

If you are trying to attract and manage more wildlife to you land, Food Plot Grass Seed need to be considered. Weather you are looking to attract deer and other wildlife or feeding your managed wildlife food plots, natural food plot grass seed blends should be considered. Again, a seed that contains HSG can be very hard for deer and other wild life to resist. You want to find a deer grass seeds that winters well and creates fool proof food plots year after year.

So when considering pasture grasses and food plot grass make sure you look in to HSG seeds. You may need to spend more for these blends but in the long run they will save you both time and money And remember, great farms start with great pastures and great pastures start with great seeds.
