What could i plant for geese to graze on?

My Geese Graze on just about every plant I've ever grown.

Go to your local feed store and ask for a grass pasture mix that would be good for horses. Look for blends with timothy, brome, and/or orchard. Avoid alfalfa. Oat grass is another good option.

what you plant also depends on where you live. Western climates and far northern are vastly different from us here in the south and what we can use as pasture.

I bought a pasture mix the one our feed stores had for horses had more alfalfa in them. This mix has some just not a ton. It has timothy and clover and orchard.

thanks for the input everybody. That gives me some ideas. I have one more question. What does everbody feed their geese in winter?

 

[CelticOaksFarm]

Bringing you back to the top, we don't have winter, but hopefully others will chime in

I feed my geese horse quality grass hay and whole grains in the winter. My hay guy has about 50 geese and he says the geese devour his oat hay in the winter. He is bringing me a couple of bales to sample.

What about feeding orchard or timothy pellets in the winter, rather than hay? Does anyone do that?
