Mixtures

 

Dairymaster®

Dairymaster is an exciting new mixture. It is scientifically formulated to provide a dairy quality pasture. Also very well suited for replacement heifers, lactating beef cows, and stocker operations. Dairymaster contains the best of all species: perennial ryegrass, fine-leafed tall fescue, and meadow fescue. All varieties used are winter-hardy, persistent, and high in energy and protein. Dairymaster also contains Alice white clover. Alice will fix Nitrogen as well as improve protein and energy levels of the sward.

 

Beefmaster®

Beefmaster is a special formulation of forage grasses for stocker cattle and beef cows and calves. Beefmaster contains soft-leaved tall fescue varieties which are highly digestible and increase overall dry matter intake compared to rough-leaf tall fescues. Along with soft-leaf tall fescue, the orchard grass varieties included in Beefmaster are grazing tolerant and maintain their productivity even under close grazing. Highly productive, high energy forage varieties in Beefmaster provide rapid weight gains in beef cattle. Beefmaster also contains new persistent varieties of perennial ryegrass which further improve the forage quality of the pasture.

 

HorsemasterTM

Horsemaster is a mixture especially made for horse pastures. Because horses have both upper and lower teeth, they graze the grass close to the soil. Also, horses are very active animals and put a lot of traffic pressure on grass. With these facts in mind, Barenbrug developed Horsemaster. Different mixtures have been composed for different climates, but all mixtures include at least timothy, orchardgrass, and ryegrass. Horsemaster is guaranteed endophyte-free.

 

Overseeding Horsemaster

For the hot and humid South, Barenbrug developed an overseeding formula for horse pastures. This mixture contains perennial and annual ryegrass and hulled bermudagrass. When planted in the fall, this mixture gives an appealing and high quality winter horse pasture in the South. The bermudagrass component germinates in the spring improving the summer appearance and production.

 

StockmasterTM

Stockmaster is a pasture seed mix, formulated with the top varieties for each region of the USA. These mixes with improved varieties allow for highly digestible, vigorous, and persistent pastures suited for all classes of livestock. Its complex formula allows it to be used even under less than ideal conditions. It is a perfect mixture for smaller acreage fields that require a long lasting, high quality pasture. Stockmaster, like Horsemaster stands, may also be used for hayfields after it is established.
