Beefmaster
       Beefmaster is a special formulation of forage grasses for raising stocker cattle; and beef cows and calves. Beefmaster contains soft leaf tall fescue varieties which are highly digestible and increase overall dry matter intake compared to rough-leaf tall fescues. Along with soft leaf tall fescue; the orchard grass varieties included in Beefmaster are grazing tolerant and maintain their productivity even under close grazing. Highly productive, high energy forage varieties in Beefmaster provide rapid weight gains in beef cattle. Beefmaster also contains new persistent varieties of perennial ryegrass which further improve the forage quality of the pasture.
 
Dairymaster
      Dairymaster is an exciting mixture. It is scientifically formulated to provide a dairy quaity pasture. Also very well suited for replacement heifers, lactating beef cows, and stocker operations. Dairmaster contains the best of all species: perennial ryegrass, very soft leaf tall fescue, and meadow fescue. All varieties used are winter-hardy, persistent, and high in energy and protein. Dairymaster also contains Alice white clover. Alice will fix Nitrogen as well as improve protein and energy levels of the sward.
 
Stockmaster Mix
     Stockmaster is a pasture seed mix, formulated with the top varieties for each region of the USA. These mixes with improved varieties allow for highly digestible, vigorous, and persistent pastures suited for all classes of livestock. Its complex formula allows it to be used even under less than ideal conditions. It is a perfect mixture for smaller acreage fields that require a long lasting, high quality pasture. Stockmaster, like Horsemaster stands, may be used for hay fields after it is established.
 
Horsemaster Mix
      Horsemaster Mix is a mixture especially made for horse pastures. Because horses have both upper and lower teeth, they graze the grass close to the soil. Also horses are very active animals and put a lot of traffic pressure on grass. With these facts in mind, Barenbrug developed Horsemaster. Different mixtures have been composed for different climates, but all mixtures include at least timothy, orchardgrass, and ryegrass. Horsemaster is guaranteed endophyte-free.
 
Barenbrug Brassicas
      Brassicas are used to extend the grazing season into late fall/early winter, or to provide very high quality summer grazing. Brassicas will not lignify in hot weather which results in very high-quality feed.  They can be seeded in a mix with Mega-Millet or Sorghum Sudan. The seeding rate is very low and it makes cows pick up in milk. Sometimes cattle won't eat it the first day or two. Introduce them slowly and make sure adequate effective fiber is being fed. Brassicas are low in fiber. Typical forage analysis: 25% protein, 215 RFV.
 
Barkant Forage Turnip
      Barkant is a vigorous summer/autumn turnip from Holland. It is extremely high yielding and bred specifically for increased leaf growth. As the highest concetration of protein and yield is in the leaf, it is obvious why Barkant performs so well. The tankard shaped bulb offers good accessibility. It's suitable for milking, lamb fattening, ewe flushing or hog rearing. It can be grazed about 3 times. Barkant had a higher yield over two grazings than Sudex in a Berks County, Pennsylvania trial.
 
T-Raptor Forage Brassica
      This is a hybrid brassica that looks like a turnip without the bulb. It is the best brassica for multiple grazings and is the fastest brassica to be ready to be grazed (10 days earlier than the quickest turnips and rapes). Capable of 3 plus high yield grazings. Also T-Raptor is better adapted to mixing with sorghum sudangrass than turnips.
 
Barnapoli Forage Rape
      Barnapoli is a very productive and nutrient-rich supplement forage for summer and for fall feeding. It provides high digestibility and crude protein levels at a low cost.
 
Rangiora Forage Rape
       This New Zealand forage rape variety is fast in its establishment and can be grazed multiple times. Rangiora is used for both wildlife and livestock grazing purposes.
 
Barabas
       Barabas is a tetraploid turnip variety with high fresh matter yields. It provides quick build development after sowing. It is more shoot yield than bulb yield. Barabas also has good frost tolerance. Barabas is later in maturity than Barkant and has good resistance to bolting. It holds bulb quality longer than Barkant. Barabas has high digestibility (88-91%). It is good for mixtures with Barkant for strip grazing and stockpiling.
