[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 410734, member: 4353"] Teff is very popular for horse hay here in SA, I tried it the last few years as pasture and grazed it. Although it had high yields, it didn't come anywhere close to alfalfa for production per mm water. In my opinion it may be good for horses, but for grazing its value is limited because of a very shallow root system and cattle will pull alot of it out with their tongue action on sandy soil. Unless your business is to sell hay to horse people, I believe there are better grasses and legumes for cattle hay. [/QUOTE]
