[QUOTE="western, post: 407987, member: 5625"] while weather is the most important, grasses can be different genetically (even the same varieties... like orchardgrass). Look for varieties that are LAMH (low aftermath heading). These are varieties that produce seed heads only ONCE and have very little seed head production after that (in one growing season). The good news is these LAMH varietie produce excellent leafy forage the "bad" news is they are more expensive to produce (for seed) because generally they producing less seed per arce. This make them a little more expensive to buy. However, we've found we'd rather have leafy forage then seed heads for the second and third cuttings. [/QUOTE]
