We were able to transition all animals from grain to grass fed only due to high quality pasture. Persister is prolific. Cut hay 4 times this year. All animals love the taste and body scores are great. Your photo above is from our field.

We seeded Persister last fall and we have taken two good cuttings as of late June. We are leaving it alone for the rest of the season in hopes of dropping seed.

Persister bromegrass is a game changer. It provides a more balanced diet than ryegrass because of the effective fiber present.
