Rich in nitrogen and good for soil fertility. Used for all types of livestock, particularly ruminants. Can cause bloating in cattle if overconsumed.

Hardy, cool-season grass. Often used for grazing and hay for cattle and sheep, but can contain endophytes that affect livestock health.

Drought-resistant grass, good for pasture and hay. Suitable for cattle, horses, goats, and sheep in warm climates.

High-quality forage with rapid growth. Suitable for grazing dairy and beef cattle, sheep, and horses.

Energy-dense forage, often used for dairy cows and beef cattle. Requires proper fermentation and storage to prevent spoilage.

High in protein, vitamins, and minerals. Best used for dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep, goats, and horses.

Low in protein but high in fiber. Ideal for horses, and good for cattle and sheep during maintenance periods.

Hybrid grass with high biomass yield. Good for cattle and sheep, but should be grazed or cut after it reaches 18 inches to avoid toxicity.

Hybrid of wheat and rye, used for grazing, hay, and silage. Good for dairy and beef cattle, offering a balance of energy and protein.

A widely used cool-season grass for pasture and hay. Good for horses, dairy cows, beef cattle, and sheep, providing a dense and durable turf.

High biomass, drought-tolerant cereal grain used for silage, good for beef and dairy cattle. Monitor for prussic acid especially after a frost.

High-protein, high-energy legume forage crop. Ideal for sheep and cattle on poor soils, but certain varieties can be toxic to livestock if not managed properly.

High in protein and can be used as forage. Suitable for silage or hay for dairy cows, beef cattle, and sheep, though mature leaves may be less palatable.

Drought-resistant and good for restoring damaged soils. Best for grazing cattle and sheep, but high in oxalates which can be problematic for horses.

High-energy grain often used in forage mixes for silage or as a cover crop. Useful for cattle and sheep, and can be part of a finishing diet for beef cattle.

Not commonly used as forage, but can be ensiled for silage and is rich in energy. Suitable for dairy and beef cattle in inclusion with other forages.

Brassica crop with high yields and good protein levels. Suitable as a grazing forage for cattle and sheep, but should be gradually introduced into the diet to prevent digestive issues.

High-quality forage with high digestibility. Suitable for intensive grazing systems with dairy and beef cattle, as well as sheep and horses.

Perennial grass with high yield and good winter hardiness. Suitable for hay and silage, primarily for dairy cattle and sheep.

Nutritious but slow-growing grass. Generally used for grazing horses and ruminant livestock.

Warm-season legume rich in protein and highly palatable. Excellent for cattle and goats in pastures, particularly in the southern U.S.

Drought-tolerant with lower toxicity levels than sorghum. Good for grazing or hay for cattle and sheep.

Versatile cereal grain used for pasture, hay, or silage. Good for cattle, sheep, and horses, particularly as a cool-season annual nurse crop.

Fast-growing cereal grain used for pasture, hay, and silage. Good forage source for cattle and sheep, particularly as an overwintering crop.

Leguminous plant with high nitrogen-fixing ability. Good forage for dairy cows, beef cattle, and sheep, often mixed with grasses or cereals.

Warm-season perennial grass used for pasture and hay. Suitable for cattle and is also being evaluated for biofuel production.

Warm-season legume that is drought-resistant. It is used in pastures for cattle, sheep, and goats, particularly in the southern U.S.

Durable and winter-hardy grass, suitable for hay and pasture. Ideal for horses and cattle in colder climates.

Fast-growing cool-season grass. Used for grazing, silage, and hay, particularly for cattle and sheep in rotational grazing systems.

High-energy and protein-rich forages, including turnips and kale. Suitable for grazing cattle and sheep, providing they are introduced gradually to prevent digestive upsets.

Non-bloating leguminous forage. Good for pasture and hay for cattle, sheep, and goats in alkaline soils.

High in fiber, good for all classes of livestock especially for hay production. It matures later than some other cool-season grasses.

Legume that is non-bloating and good for grazing and hay. Ideal for cattle and sheep, and can be grown in poor soils.

Heat and drought-resistant with rapid growth. Suitable for grazing, hay, and silage, particularly for cattle and goats in warm regions.

High-protein, high-mineral content forage. Good for sheep and cattle and can lessen the need for deworming due to its anthelmintic properties.

Drought-tolerant, fast-growing summer annual. Good for hay, pasture, and silage for cattle and sheep.

Perennial legume with good nitrogen-fixing ability. Used in pasture mixes for grazing cattle, sheep, and goats, and helps improve soil fertility.

A hybrid of sorghum and sudangrass with high forage yield. Good for grazing or hay for cattle with proper management to avoid prussic acid poisoning.

An ancient wheat with high-fiber grain. Good for silage or grazing, suitable for cattle and other ruminant livestock.

Hybrid forage with vigor and fast growth. Used for silage, hay, and grazing for dairy and beef cattle, as well as sheep. Watch for prussic acid poisoning risk.
