A fast-growing spring annual — excellent forage bridge and ideal nurse crop for legumes.

Lifetyme Forage Spring Oats deliver 1,500–2,000 lbs of dry forage per acre and hay yields averaging 3–5 tons/acre when cut at early heading. With crude protein up to 25% in the vegetative stage, they provide a valuable spring forage bridge for cattle, sheep, and goats when perennial pastures are not yet producing. They also serve as an excellent nurse crop for alfalfa and other legumes, suppressing weeds while the slower-establishing crop gets started.

For livestock producers needing spring pasture, hay producers looking for a reliable annual, or farmers establishing legumes who need a companion nurse crop.
