Product Overview
Our Southern Horse Forage Mix is a premium, multi-species blend specially formulated to thrive under the heat, humidity, and variable rainfall typical of the southern United States.

Seed Composition
- Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne): Rapid spring and fall green-up; lush, palatable forage that fills bare patches quickly.

- Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon): Warm-season workhorse delivering summer forage, drought resilience, and fast recovery.
