BERMUDA STRAW

Nothing Goes to Waste

Bermuda Grass, Cynodon Dactylon, is a perennial warm-season grass grown on a large scale in California's Imperial Valley. While it's primarily grown for seed used in commercial and residential turf, it's also a valuable source of animal feed.

Once the seed is harvested, the remaining stems and leaves are baled as Bermuda Straw. The result is a clean, economical forage that's fed both domestically and internationally, making good use of a crop that's already been grown for another purpose.

Benefits

Bermuda straw is a practical, economical forage with benefits for both cattle operations and the land:

Cost-effective option for least-cost rations
Well suited for Wagyu and other cattle fed low-carotene forage
Perennial crop that doesn't need to be replanted or tilled each year
Deep root system that uses water and nutrients efficiently

Economical, consistent, and low in carotene, Bermuda straw is a smart fiber source for cattle operations focused on both cost and quality.

Extensive root system that helps store carbon in the soil
Low maintenance, requiring less tractor work and fewer inputs
Resilient and adaptable to a wide range of soil types
Byproduct of seed production, so nothing goes to waste
