SUMMARY

Traditionally, forage grasses have been defined by two traits: yield and persistence. Barenbrug also places a strong emphasis on a third trait, forage quality. After all, forage quality has a direct effect on animal performance and ultimately on your profits. Barenbrug has a long tradition of developing high quality forage products.

02

NO FESCUE TOXICOSIS

03

STAND PERSISTENCE

Endophyte-driven toughness keeps the stand under grazing pressure.

04

COOL-SEASON FORAGE

Spring and fall production when warm-season grasses are dormant.

05
