Pasture
Mixture 200 Series - for Dairy, Beef, Horse, Sheep and/or Wildlife
Col-land has two main pasture mixtures. Pasture Mixture 216 and
Pasture Mixture 217 which are sold in Eastern Canada and North
Eastern United States. Pasture Mixture 216 and Pasture Mixture 217
are combinations of three high quality grass species with a grazing
type alfalfa and/or white clover. These three grasses will give your
field the yield potential in wet, dry and normal growing conditions.
Both pasture mixtures can be used for new seedings but only Pasture
Mixture 216 can be successfully over seeded. Pasture Mixture 217 can
also be harvested as hay crop because it contains sunken crown
alfalfa that yields with the best alfalfas in the business and yet
helps protect the plant from grazing. White Clover has the most
available nitrogen which makes the grass side of Pasture.
Mixture 216 and Pasture Mixture 217 produce high quality feed. Make
sure you have a high stocking rate to keep ahead oftfie forage
growth because livestock whether it's dairy, beef, horse, sheep or
wildlife like young succulent growth. The Two Key Ingredients to
successful grazing are:
- make sure each pasture has a
minimum of a 30 day rest period, similar to hay fields
- overgrazing - don't graze too
