Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Tuff Turf Trailburst Orchardgrass

Trailburst Orchardgrass is a premium cool-season perennial forage seed. With excellent drought resistance, winter hardiness, and high nutritional value, it’s perfect for pastures, hay production, and sustainable livestock feeding.

Trailburst Orchardgrass is a high-quality forage seed blend designed to deliver exceptional performance in pastures and hayfields. As a cool-season perennial grass, it thrives in USDA Zones 3–7, offering drought resistance, winter hardiness, and rapid establishment.

Grown from elite varieties of Dactylis glomerata, Trailburst Orchardgrass provides a balanced mix of protein and fiber, promoting healthy weight gain and supporting livestock productivity. Its palatable, nutrient-dense forage ensures high pasture utilization, while its vigorous regrowth supports rotational grazing and multiple hay cuttings per season.
