Another Hybrid Pearl millet Question

A couple weeks ago, somebody here was talking about a couple different Tiffleaf millets. But I can't find the thread right now. Anyway, a guy was saying that Tiffleaf 3 didn't produce many seeds and recommended a different one to a fellow that was wanting to raise some for dove hunting. Last year, our hybrid pearl millet was tagged "variety not stated" and it only had some ripening seedheads on it when we turned the calves in on it for the last time. There sure weren't very many seeds in the heads though. Maybe they just weren't ripe enough to be far enough along. Don't know.

For dove shoots I suggested the Tiftseed Millet. It is the complete opposite of Tiftleaf cause it grows a seedhead in lieu of forage. The seed heads ripen quickly and produce massive amounts of seed. I would not suggest planting this for cattle - only for birds.
