Product Information
Hancock's Horse Pasture Grass Warm Climate Mix is designed for extreme drought-resistance, close grazing tolerance, and wide regional adaptability. Many horse pasture owners face the seemingly never-ending battle of maintaining a productive horse pasture in the warm climate zones.
We feel that the most important aspect of a pasture is not always how perfect it look as much as how perfect it performs during extremely dry conditions, extremely wet conditions and how it recovers from frost damage. Our warm climate horse pasture seed mixture is designed to provide a low maintenance pasture that will survive most any weather conditions. This mixture does need fertilizer and proper rotational grazing to maintain.
Our blend includes Argentine Bahia, Pensacola Bahiagrass (coated seed), Brown Top Millet, and Common Bermuda (Unhulled).
Our Horse pasture seed mixture is also used in pastures for alpacas, goats, donkeys and cattle. This mixture should be planted in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Mississippi and Arkansas.

This mixture should be planted at 100 lbs. per acre, along with 300 lbs. of 16-04-08 fertilizer applied spring, summer, and fall. Overseed with Ryegrass at 30 to 40 lbs. per acre between October and November for winter grazing.
Instructions
When choosing to start a new lawn, remove old vegetation by using a de-thatcher, power rake or tiller to kill the existing vegetation. Rake or drag the area to remove debris and dead grass for a clean area. Ensure the soil is leveled and loosened to allow the seed to have good soil contact once spread on a clean seed bed.
If you have an area with heavy weed coverage, we recommend starting fresh by killing and removing the existing vegetation. If you choose to use chemicals, herbicides or fertilizers, you must check with the product's manufacturer prior to planting new seed to ensure the proper waiting period.
When overseeding an existing area, mow your lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippingsx. Rake or drag any areas that have dead thatch or debris.
