Re: [RC] one more feed question - Truman Prevatt

There are a lot of different bermuda grasses. In the SE there are three that are used for horses. There is coastal bermuda and as Jim points out Tifton 44 which is a hybrid bermuda hay and calie bermuda which is a high protein hybrid that is used by a lot of dairy farms in the SE.

For the most part I fee Tift 44. It is a very good horse hay. It is a little more coarse than coastal (which can be very fine) and does well with horses.

I assume you mean is it a good horse hay. It’s great stuff….been feeding it for 40+ years, my hay of choice. High in protein, horses love it, smells wonderful. Tift44 is the best, look for weed-free. Just bought 68 bales…my grower finally got enough rain for a cutting…not quite as aromatic as usual and a little drought stressed, but my guys love it. Very dry here in North Georgia.
