Northern Sheep Pasture Mix

Our Northern Sheep Pasture Mix is a nutrient-dense, cool-season blend designed specifically for the northern United States, where pastures must thrive through cold winters, cool springs, and shorter growing seasons. This carefully selected mix of Perennial Ryegrass, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Chicory, White Clover, Orchardgrass, and Kentucky Bluegrass delivers high-quality forage, excellent regrowth, and superior palatability to support meat and wool production in northern sheep operations.

Formulated to perform in states like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Vermont, the Dakotas, and other northern zones, this pasture blend is ideal for producers seeking reliable, low-maintenance, and highly nutritious forage for their flocks.

Key Benefits:

Adapted to Northern U.S. Conditions

• Performs exceptionally in cold, moist climates with shorter growing seasons and seasonal frost.

• Cool-season species deliver early spring growth and strong fall regrowth for extended grazing.

Balanced, Sheep-Friendly Nutrition

• Birdsfoot Trefoil and Chicory are rich in digestible nutrients and contain natural tannins that help manage internal parasites and improve gut health.

• White Clover provides protein and palatability, encouraging consistent intake for growing lambs and lactating ewes.

• Perennial Ryegrass and Kentucky Bluegrass offer dense, lush ground cover that holds up to grazing pressure while remaining highly palatable.

• Orchardgrass adds deep-rooted drought tolerance and consistent forage throughout the season.

Season-Long Productivity

• With species that grow well from spring through fall, this mix supports continuous grazing or hay production with proper rotation.

• Fast regrowth and strong persistence make it ideal for intensive grazing systems.

Soil Health and Sustainability

• Legumes like White Clover and Birdsfoot Trefoil naturally fix nitrogen, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and improving overall pasture health.

• Diverse species composition enhances soil structure and erosion control while promoting long-term productivity.

Ideal For:

• Sheep producers in northern states with cool, temperate climates

• Rotational and managed grazing systems

• Operations focused on parasite control, high forage quality, and long-term pasture resilience
