What grass species are best for summer grazing in the South?
Bermudagrass (Coastal, Tifton 85), bahiagrass, and crabgrass are the top warm-season grasses for Southern pasture. Bermudagrass dominates from Texas through the Carolinas; bahiagrass excels in Florida and Gulf Coast. Pair warm-season grasses with cool-season annuals (oats, ryegrass) to extend the grazing season.
