When it comes to high-quality forage for your livestock, this intermediate tetraploid ryegrass is a variety we recommend for both grazing and hay. Best-For Plus seed establishes quickly from spring or fall plantings and maintains productive stands for 2-3 years with proper management. Its high sugar content and superior digestibility are what make this grass so effective for boosting weight gain and milk production. With its upright growth and broader leaves, it’s an ideal choice for both harvesting and rotational grazing.

To keep your forage productive for a longer period, a simple but effective tip is to overseed with another cool-season species in the second year. This is an easy way to extend the life of your stand as the ryegrass naturally begins to thin out. On top of that, you’ll find that this variety is tough against rust and has excellent winter hardiness, making it especially valuable in regions with challenging weather.
