Grass Seed for Raising Geese

[Pgw]

Does anyone have a particular brand of mixed forage seed , preferably in 50lb quantity, safe for my new geese. They will be grazing in a very large pasture. Currently have just pasture grass with a lot of crab grass. I use kentucky 31 tall fescue around the house. I read that geese don't like fescue or it's not great for them? I live in upstate SC with chilly winters but hot summers. Fescue pretty much diminishes as summer progresses and requires reseeding in fall. Rye dies quickly when it heats up here. Any advice much appreciated!

Fescue can rune there fertility and inhibit growth it wouldnt kill them but can cause allot of problems. Blue grass is good but so is crab grass. Tractor supply has a pasture seed that is Fescue free for horses.

Fescue is bad? How do you know that? Just planted some for them in a shady spot
