Transitional Sheep Pasture Mix

Product Overview

The seeding rate for this seed is 20 Lbs./Acre.

The Transitional Sheep Pasture Mix is specifically crafted for the unique growing conditions found in the transitional regions of the United States—areas where hot summers meet cold winters, and where pastures must perform through seasonal shifts in temperature, moisture, and soil type. This mix offers a balanced blend of grasses, legumes, and forbs that deliver excellent forage quality, seasonal productivity, and resilience under grazing pressure.

Combining Tall Fescue (endophyte-free), Birdsfoot Trefoil, Chicory, White Clover, Orchardgrass, and Kentucky Bluegrass, this mix is ideal for regions such as the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic, southern Midwest, and Upper South—zones that demand versatile, adaptable pasture solutions for productive sheep operations.

Key Benefits

Built for Transitional Climate Zones

• Thrives in areas with variable rainfall, humid summers, and cold winters—common across transitional U.S. regions.
• Performs well in moderately fertile to high-fertility soils, making it suitable for mixed terrain and pasture types.

Sheep-Focused Nutrition

• Chicory and Birdsfoot Trefoil provide digestible fiber, essential minerals, and natural tannins that support parasite resistance and gut health.
• White Clover and Orchardgrass deliver high-protein, palatable forage for ewes, lambs, and growing stock.
• Tall Fescue (endophyte-free) and Kentucky Bluegrass supply persistent ground cover, regrowth, and grazing resilience.

Seasonal Productivity & Regrowth

• Cool-season dominance ensures early spring growth, while deep-rooted species like Chicory extend productivity into summer dry spells.
• Excellent regrowth following grazing or mowing makes it ideal for rotational grazing systems.

Soil Health & Long-Term Benefits

• Legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen, improving pasture fertility naturally.
• Diverse species composition supports soil structure, erosion control, and long-term sustainability.

Ideal For

• Sheep operations in transitional zones including the Mid-Atlantic, southern Midwest, Appalachian foothills, and Upper South
• Pasture-based systems focused on high forage quality and year-round productivity
• Producers seeking a mix that performs across seasonal and environmental variability

Why Choose This Mix
