Why Choose This Seed?
Drought Performance
Chicory’s deep taproot and tall fescue’s extensive root system help maintain forage quality through prolonged dry periods, reducing summer slump.
High Forage Quality
Birdsfoot trefoil and white clover add high-protein legumes, improving palatability and supporting steady weight gains in sheep and goats.
Erosion Control
Dense bunching of tall fescue and sod-forming Kentucky bluegrass stabilizes soil on slopes and streambanks, minimizing runoff and soil loss.
Grazing Resilience
Orchardgrass tolerates close grazing and regrows rapidly, allowing rotations every 21–28 days without stand loss.
Wildlife & Pollinator Habitat
Chicory and clover flowers supply nectar for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects during summer months.
Product Uses

Our favorite pasture blend!
I received the order 10 days after ordering the seed. Planted 7 days ago and yesterday the first green leafs poked thru the dirt. Excited to see the results... Hoping it fills in to become a new Hatfield of 5 acres.
I received my shipment of seed promptly and just spread it today. I am excited to see how the intermountain west sheep feed mix I purchased does in our harsher climate but I have good soil and high hopes. I intend to purchase more in the future if all goes well.
My sheep really like this seed and prefer to graze in that area than anywhere else.
Came in a box
Second time purchasing this product. Great success with the first batch of seed. Quick germination (less than 7 days) very impressed. Am a disabled veteran and looking to raise a few sheep. With this product I believe I will get there. Just wish I could have afforded more from the get go. The weather is getting hotter and it may take awhile to get the coverage needed to sustain 4 or 5 sheep. Will order more.
Good Price Quick Delivery
I have used this seed in the past and I am very satisfied. My sheep love it. They ship out quickly.
