Overview

Grass hay that animals eat up

Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) is a fine-stemmed tropical grass that is cut at the right stage, sun-dried and pressed into bales. It is the same species behind the Boma and Katambora varieties grown in Kenya and Australia.

Our fine grade is soft, leafy and low in dust. With 9–12% crude protein it sits between low-protein wheat straw and high-protein alfalfa, which makes it a staple forage for dairy cows, horses, camels, sheep and goats in hot climates.
