SUDAN GRASS FOR HAY

Sudan grass hay is a type of hay that is ideal for cows that need to gain weight quickly. This hay is high in protein and digestible fiber, making it an excellent source of energy for beef production. Sorghum sudan hay is also an excellent option for cattle with limited access to fresh pasture.

Sorghum sudan is a fast-growing, productive forage grass commonly used as livestock feed (for grazing or to make hay or silage) and as a cover crop. Sundangrass is tall (3–8 feet or 0.9–2.4 meters) with slender stems and large leaves.

At Bailey farms, we strive to provide the dairy, livestock, and forage producer with the best seed genetics and the latest management information to help them improve the profitability of their operation.

Uses Of Sudan Grass

Sudan grass is native to Sudan. It is cultivated and naturalized widely in the United States, but is most common in the southern states. Although common to the southern states, it is also grown from southern Texas to Minnesota and North Dakota in the central grassland regions. Sudan only develops fibrous roots and does not become a noxious weed. As seedlings, virtually all species of sorghum resemble one another and are frequently confused with young corn plants. The sorghum species are used for forage, hay, silage, and grain.
