Pasture grass?

I will be fencing off a couple of more acres this summer. Just wondering if anyone has any recomendations on pasture grasses.
Thanks Paul

Had triplets today. 14 more due.

Hi Paul!

For goats a great way to seed a paddock/pasture is with deer wildlife plot mix ;-) I'm sure you can find a mix that is suited for your area - call around to the feed stores.

Good luck!

Birdsfoot trefoil does well in my area and late in the season the goats love it. It's a legume and high in protein. It's also supposed to suppress worms.
