Grand Daddy perennial ryegrass is the top choice for progressive livestock producers. This new-generation forage perennial ryegrass is bred for highly productive pastures and hay. A premier forage grass, perennial ryegrass provides cattle, sheep and horses with highly digestible, nutritious forage. Ryegrass is the cool-season grass species that provides the highest level of animal performance when performance is measured as milk production or average daily gain.

Because Grand Daddy is endophyte free, it is an excellent cattle and horse forage. It has also been bred with resistance to the principal diseases that infect lesser perennial ryegrasses, including rust, leaf spot, blight, mildew and brown patch. Any of these foliar diseases will reduce forage quality, animal palatability, and ultimately, animal forage intake and performance.

Grand Daddy can be relied upon to produce high-quality forage very rapidly, given adequate rainfall and cool growing conditions. It is an excellent component for pasture mixes, makes an excellent grass silage and produces extremely palatable hay. Its rapid growth provides excellent fall grazing, as well as superior production in the early spring.
