We use clover, chickor, rey wheat and rey grass. And the pens look good and green.

We got it at the local feed & seed.

You can order whitetail institute right off the computer, also wheat and oat seed is good which you can get at a feed mill or farmer.

red fescue is the onely thing that will take the beating , its tuff stuff, if i were you i would try a mix of diff. Seeds , so if one fails or is eat down to dirt you have anouther one ready , do your home work and make your own mix, remember your trying to keep the pens green, not brown ( mud ) thats your goal and your onely goal,
