Pasture Grass Seed for West Texas & the High Plains
A productive pasture starts with grass species that match your livestock, soil, available moisture, and grazing program. Whether you’re establishing a new pasture, renovating existing acres, or looking for dependable perennial forage, Jack Seed & Supply carries quality pasture grass seed for operations across the High Plains.
Â
Serving producers throughout the Lubbock area, Amarillo area, West Texas, the Texas Panhandle, Eastern New Mexico, and the Oklahoma Panhandle, we offer pasture grasses for irrigated and dryland systems, along with knowledgeable recommendations to help you build a stand that fits your operation.
Cattle Pasture Grass
Productive pasture can provide an economical source of forage for cow-calf herds, stocker cattle, and other beef operations. We offer pasture grasses selected for forage production, grazing tolerance, persistence, and adaptation to High Plains growing conditions.
Horse Pasture Grass
Horse pastures require grasses capable of producing quality forage while tolerating regular grazing and traffic. Selecting the right species can help create a productive stand while providing dependable forage throughout the growing season.
Warm-Season Pasture Grasses
Warm-season grasses thrive during the heat of late spring and summer. Options such as Bermudagrass and other adapted perennial grasses can provide productive grazing while offering strong heat and drought tolerance for High Plains operations.
Cool-Season Pasture Grasses
Cool-season grasses can provide forage during fall, winter, and spring when warm-season pastures are dormant or less productive. Depending on your location and management program, they can be used alone or incorporated into a broader year-round forage system.
Irrigated Pasture
Irrigation can significantly increase pasture production and extend the productive grazing season. We offer grass options suited for irrigated systems where producers are focused on maximizing forage production, stand density, and carrying capacity.
Dryland & Low-Water Pasture
Limited rainfall is a major consideration across West Texas and the High Plains. Drought-tolerant pasture grasses can provide a more sustainable option for acres where irrigation is limited or unavailable, particularly when matched with appropriate stocking rates and grazing management.
Permanent Pasture
Perennial pasture grasses can provide forage for multiple years without annual replanting once a healthy stand is established. Proper variety selection, establishment, fertility, and grazing management can help improve stand persistence and long-term productivity.
Pasture Renovation & Overseeding
Thin or declining pastures don’t always require complete replacement. Depending on the existing stand, pasture renovation or overseeding may help improve forage production, fill bare areas, and introduce more productive species into the grazing system.
Frequently Asked Questions About Grass Seed
What is the best grass seed for pasture in West Texas?
The best pasture grass depends on your soil, irrigation availability, livestock, rainfall, and grazing goals. Warm-season grasses such as Bermudagrass are common options, while other adapted grasses may be better suited to lower-water or specific grazing systems.
What pasture grass is good for cattle?
Several pasture grasses can provide productive cattle forage. The best choice depends on whether the pasture is irrigated or dryland, your stocking rate, and when you want the majority of your forage production.
What pasture grass is good for horses?
Horse pasture should provide quality forage while tolerating grazing and traffic. Species selection should account for your soil, irrigation, number of horses, and pasture management program.
Can I plant pasture grass without irrigation?
Yes. Certain drought-tolerant and adapted grasses can be established under dryland conditions, although establishment and long-term production depend heavily on rainfall, soil conditions, and grazing management.
Can you help me choose a pasture grass mix?
Yes. Our team can help you compare individual pasture grasses or develop a blend based on your livestock, acreage, available moisture, and forage goals.
