Winter grass

Posted by southerngardengal z7bMS (My Page) on

Can anyone suggest the best winter grasses to grow in east central Mississippi? I have one goat that I would like to have fresh grass for the winter and am hoping to get a calf to raise for freezer beef and maybe a couple more goats. I have about an acre and a half to plant in grass. I realize that I will need to feed them more hay than anything but would like to plant some grass also. Would rather have something that is an annual. Nothing that will spread all over the place because I have gardens in the same area too.

Thank you for any help that you can give me.

Maybe Rye grass or winter wheat both will die off in the spring good luck Jim

RE: Winter grass

Thank you Jim. I knew the rye would do well here because we sewed it in our front yard a couple of years when I kept smaller children so they could play outside and it would not be so muddy and nasty after rain in the winter but did not know that winter wheat would grow in this area.
I appreciate your responding.
