USES:

• As a cool season perennial pasture to provide high quality, abundant forage throughout the fall months into spring and early summer for all classes of grazing livestock including cattle, sheep, and horses. (Lacefield MaxQII is university-tested safe for pregnant mares.) Highest productivity is during September-December and March-June.
• For high-quality hay/baleage production.
• Excellent for fall stockpiling and managed grazing during the winter months.

BENEFITS:

• Produces no toxins - proven safe for all classes of grazing animals including pregnant mares
• Provides abundant forage throughout the fall months into spring and early summer for all classes of grazing livestock including cattle, sheep, and horses.
• High quality, palatable forage - crude protein levels of 15-16% or more and total digestible nutrient content of 60% or higher with proper soil fertility and good management.
• Persists like toxic tall fescue varieties
• Provides significantly higher animal gains and conception rates compared to toxic fescue
• Promotes better overall health – no fescue foot; no long hair coats; no sale barn discounts

PLANTING:

• For best results and maximum benefit, all toxic tall fescue and troublesome annual grasses including cheatgrass, rescue grass and unwanted ryegrass should be killed prior to the blooming stage before establishing Lacefield MaxQII. A firm seedbed is important for good stand establishment. Seed can be drilled into a prepared, firm seedbed, no-tilled into killed sod with a no-till drill or surface broadcasted onto a prepared seed bed, and packed in with a culti-packer.

RATE:

• 15- 20 lbs/acre in a prepared seedbed or 20-25 lbs/acre sod-seeded in stubble.

DEPTH:

• 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch. Planting too deep can result in poor stand emergence.
