Quick Tip # 74--Let The Crab Grass Grow
Horses are not people. Horses are not dogs.
And pastures are not lawns.
Do everything you can to encourage the spread of crab grass in your pasture. It is a great (in some areas the optimum) hot summer forage. High in protein, takes heat and dry weather well and can even be allowed to grow super tall to stockpile for late fall grazing on the "dead" leaves and stems.
Crab grass is great horse forage.
