South-Atlantic Transitional Sheep Forage Mix

Our South-Atlantic Transitional sheep pasture mix has been designed for the transitional zone of the eastern United States, an area that experiences both the hot, humid climate of the South and the cooler temperatures further north. It contains a selection of grasses and legumes designed to provide nutrient-dense, palatable forage for your sheep, lambs and lactating ewes. We’ve also included birdsfoot trefoil and chicory to help control internal parasites in sheep and lambs. Performs best in northeastern Texas, eastern Oklahoma, Arkansas, northern Louisiana, northern Mississippi, the southeastern tip of Kansas, southern Missouri, southern Illinois, Kentucky, southern Indiana, northern Alabama, northern Georgia, northwestern South Carolina, central and western North Carolina, northern and western Virginia, Tennessee and New Jersey. This mix produces a pasture that will contain approximately:

40% Tall Fescue (endophyte free)

20% Kentucky Bluegrass

15% Orchardgrass

10% White Clover

10% Birdsfoot Trefoil

5% Chicory
