About Reclaimer Rhodes Grass Hay

Reclaimer Rhodes Grass is a fine stemmed Rhodes grass with a very high leaf to stem ratio compared to other Katambora types. Aggressive growth and spreading habits makes Reclaimer the ultimate choice for hay or grazing production.
Why Choose Reclaimer Rhodes Hay?
Reclaimer Rhodes grass has an extremely fine stem and it has a higher leaf to stem ration than other Rhodes grasses.
In terms of keeping your horses healthy, the make-up of Rhodes grass is perfect. It packs a nutritional punch, and is both high in calcium and low in oxalates.
Oxalates, prevalent in many pastures, inhibit the uptake of calcium to the animal by chemically ‘tying up’ the mineral. While cows and sheep have their multiple stomachs that can eventually extract the minerals, horses only have one stomach, and cannot get the required minerals out if the grass isn’t very nutritional. By having a high calcium and low oxalate ratio, you’re ensuring your horses have the best chance to be happy and healthy.
