If you are not too far North, Bermuda would be a good choice. In my
experience, neither Sheep nor Goats really like the warm season
natives. They do eat them but they eat the cool seasons first. This
can be a good thing because it helps limit the competition from the cool
season grasses. Try to get seed from as close as possible to you.
That way you will be more likely to get a strain that is suited to your
climate.

Subject: [Graze-l] "praire grasses" for VA
Is there anyone in the mid-atlantic region experimenting with praire
grasses for summer pastures? I have been reading about Wes Jackson, etc
and was wondering where to get good seed that isn't too expensive, what
kind of planting rates and most importantly is this a viable idea for
improving summer pasture TDN? This year we had 8 straight dry weeks and
are still in drought, some of my paddocks still cannot be re-grazed. BTW
I am grazing sheep. Liese
