Fall Cattle Builder

    Description

    Fall Cattle Builder combines the palatability of triticale and collards with rapid emergence from the oats and a protein punch from the hairy vetch and peas to make a grazing mix perfect for fall, even winter grazing. Plant this mix after a silage crop, a wheat crop, or on any field you're hoping to graze in the cooler months. A late fall planting could also be grazed the following spring. 

    These seeds are non-GMO and not treated with pesticides.

    This product is pre-inoculated with Elevate'd Fungi and Bolster L, to increase the biological activity in your soil. 
    • Elevate'd Fungi is a seed applied inoculant derived from natural products designed to stimulate seed germination, increase root and biological biomass in the soil, and improve soil structure. This product is OMRI approved.* 
    • Bolster L Inoculant contains multiple families of nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria plus Azospirillum Brasiliense (free living N fixer) and two phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria, Pantoea Eucalypti and Pseudomonas Baetica. This product is NOP compliant.*
    *Note to Organic Customers: Please receive approval to use these inoculants prior to using this product on Certified Organic land.

        Ingredients

        Winter Triticale, Cosaque Oats, Hairy Vetch, Winter Peas, Collards, Bolster L Inoculant, and Elevate'd Fungi Inoculant

        Planting Instructions

        Drill seed at 3/4" to 1" depth or broadcast and lightly incorporate when soil temperatures are 45 degrees or higher.

        Timing

        For best results, plant 4-6 weeks before the first average frost date during the fall. Planting can continue even through the first few frosts but the mix will likely not grow much in the fall and spring growth will be only from the most winter hardy species in the mix, likely rye, peas, and vetch.

        Seeding Rate

        Plant 84 pounds per acre when seeding with a no-till drill or other planting implement and 100 pounds per acre when broadcasting.
