BMR Grazing Blend
(Sorgo Sorghum-Sudangrass)
The BMR grazing blend can produce 80-100 days of grazing. With the different growth patterns from the hybrids you can count on grazing all season long. The BMR trait in the hybrids ensures excellent palatability and digestibility. The hybrids all have a high level of sugar contributing to increased intake and energy. Begin grazing at 18 - 24”. Use rotational grazing if they graze it down to the ground. We have had growers report stocking rates of 2 - 3 head per acre under rain-fed and irrigated conditions. Weight gains in excess of 2.5lbs/head/day have been reported.
