Here is the makeup of Bahia grass.
Is there anything in it that would be alarming? This is what Opo and Ms.Sully graze on everyday. Winter time the grass is dried out but still green grass is mixed in. @Tom

Thanks for the extreme large text, It made it so I didn't have to enlarge it on my own screen. You don't indicate your data source beyond 'MadBarn" and they don't say where they get the data from. That's sorta important. The following account indicates the orginal data source.

look here https://www.feedipedia.org/node/402 and you'll see some different values, what caught my eye is the CP ratio.

No reason to believe Mad Barn tilts the data, but if no lab or people can be accredited, it's not reliable.

To me it looks like an AI summary, many AIs link sources like that (for example Google search summary that appears on the top of the search).

Thanks for the reply.CP ? Are you referring to crude protein? The numbers for CP are better for mature unfertilized grass at 5%-10%
What numbers would you like to see?

My yard is Bahia but I'm going to dethatch the yard. To get the underlying dead matted grass removed. It is starting to choke out the grass. I am going to seed after because dethatching will thin out the grass. Any suggestions on a seed I should use? Do you have a seed that you sell that you would recommend? I live in central Florida and winters get real dry. Rainy season starts in June.

How about St. Augustine grass? It is good for warm climates. Then there is good old Bermuda grass which also does well in warmer climates.

I've always just bought pasture grass seed from Tractor Supply
