Stampede Wrangler Bermuda Grass Seed Blend

*Limited Supply for 2026 

Stampede Plus Bermuda Grass Seed is a purpose-built, three-variety bermudagrass blend designed for warmer temperate climates where dependable, high-volume forage is essential. By uniting Wrangler, JM76, and Giant bermudagrass, this seed mix delivers faster establishment, strong early-season growth, and robust late-season yield, helping livestock operations maximize pasture productivity year after year.

What sets Stampede Plus apart

• Three-variety synergy: Wrangler provides winterhardiness and reliable early green-up, JM76 accelerates establishment and boosts late-season production, and Giant bermudagrass delivers rapid first-year forage growth. Together, they balance risk and reward across the growing season.
• Cold tolerance with smart insurance: In years when winters extend further into the South, Wrangler helps guard against winterkill, ensuring forage quality remains steady while JM76 recovers in subsequent seasons.
• Season-long production: The blend is crafted for full-season high production—early forage from Wrangler and JM76’s late-season strength complement Giant’s quick first-year growth for immediate and ongoing grazing value.
• Perennial, rhizomatous resilience: Stampede Plus is a perennial stand capable of regrowth under regular grazing pressure, maintaining productivity across multiple years in suitable climates.
• Proven establishment characteristics: With coated seed for improved germination and a shallow 0.25" planting depth, this mix establishes efficiently in warm soils.

How to use Stampede Plus for maximum pasture value

• Coverage: 10–12 pounds per acre, making it efficient for range-wide renovation or new pastures.
• Management window: Plant in warm, moist conditions to capitalize on rapid germination and early stand development.
• Grazing strategy: Begin grazing once plants reach a healthy stand and plan rotational grazing to protect new shoots during establishment.
• Soil readiness: Prepare a well-drained seedbed; avoid compaction and ensure adequate fertility to support rapid establishment and sustained growth.

Ideal scenarios and benefits

• Pasture producers in southern and warm-temperate regions seeking reliable year-round forage for cattle, sheep, or goats.
• Renovating or establishing new pastures where faster establishment reduces interim feeding costs.
• Situations with occasional cold snaps—Wrangler’s winter tolerance helps preserve forage availability during uncertain winters.
• Operations prioritizing high initial yield (first-year forage) followed by strong late-season production as JM76 matures.

Why this mix matters for your operation

Stampede Plus Bermudagrass maximizes forage production potential by blending traits that address common farm constraints: cold tolerance, quick establishment, and sustained growth. Forage producers who value early pasture recovery, steady green-up after winter, and robust first-year yields will find this mix particularly advantageous. Planning around the 10–12 lb/acre rate and the 0.25" seeding depth helps align your renovation or new pasture with practical timelines and irrigation schedules, delivering a dependable feed base when it matters most.
