Our seasonal goat forage blend was designed with goats’ favorite varieties in mind while keeping up with their persistent grazing during the spring/summer and fall/winter. Our years of seed experience, combined with recommendations from Florida A&M’s animal science specialists, helped us design our seasonal grazing goat forage mix to be exactly what goat enthusiasts have been looking for.
Whether you are raising goats for meat, milk, or just fun, this convenient blend consists of high-quality perennial and annual leafy legumes and grasses that grow great in many areas of the United States. This mixture can be grown on a wide array of soils and have great success. Hancock’s Grazing Goat Forage blend is a great way to increase the quality of your pasture as well as improving the soil for future plantings. The blend will grow best in climates with mild winters.
SEED MAN’S TIP: Using Sericea Lespedeza in a small amount in your goat forage will increase tannins in your goats for better digestion and act as a natural deworming agent! If possible, graze 4 - 6 hours a day and remove in the evening.
Spring/Summer Blend:
- Pensacola Bahia
- Common Bermuda Unhulled
- Pearl Millet
- Alfalfa
- Sunn Hemp
- Soybean
- Grazing Ryegrass
- Crimson Clover Coated
- Sericea Lespedeza Hulled
- Grazing Peas
- Radish
NOTE: The Spring/Summer Blend is shipped March 1 – September 30, unless requested otherwise.
Please note that often varieties will be substituted with other suitable varieties as harvests run short from season to season. We will always strive to substitute with the absolute best varieties available.
We recommend planting this mixture on well-prepared PLOWED GROUND. Plant the spring/summer blend March 1st – September 30th and plant the fall/winter blend October 1 – February 28th . For best results, graze this blend only once it reaches a minimum of 10 in. in height, NOT BEFORE. If your goats graze this down to 3 in. or less please remove and allow the crop to retune.

United StatesThe seed arrived promptly and germinated in a week. It's too soon to say how the goats will like it.
Happy to hear that your seed arrived quickly and you had quick germination. We are sure the goats will love it! Thank you for your review and for choosing Hancock Seed!
United StatesGreat our goats love it
That's great! Thank you for allowing us to be your seed provider.
United StatesI tilled up a portion of my pasture and spread this seed, and also spread the suggested fertilizer. It took about a month but I am finally seeing results with the various seeds sprouting and growing. Probably was slow starting because we have no way to water the pasture so had to wait for some good soaking rains. Looking forward to when it is tall enough to let the goats in to it.
We're so glad the goats are enjoying the mix! You goat this. Thank you for allowing us to be your seed provider!
