![Pasture Grass Varieties For Livestock in Walla Walla County Moberg*, D. M., Chair, 4-H and Livestock Agent, Walla Walla County WSU Extension, 328 W. Poplar, Walla Walla, WA 99362 Abstract Past extension programs have shown that property owners have a need for information on pasture grass varieties for livestock in Walla Walla County, Washington. The challenges of growing a productive grass pasture in Walla Walla County include the range of precipitation from 6” to 25” of annual rainfall, the lack of water rights for many properties, a large variation of soil types throughout the valley, weed pressure, and the lack of knowledge by property owners. This educational poster was created to be displayed at various Extension-sponsored events and will describe the advantages and disadvantages of cool season grasses suitable for Walla Walla County. The information will help property owners make better decisions when establishing or renovating their pastures. The initial grasses under review are Kentucky bluegrass, orchardgrass, smooth brome, perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, hard fescues, and wheatgrasses. Follow-up projects will include an Enterprise Budget for Establishing Grass Pasture for Livestock in Walla Walla County, a Poisonous Plant Guide for Livestock, pasture seminars, and pasture walks. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Wheatgrasses Orchardgrass Tall Fescue ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Soil Type Variation Ryegrass Smooth Brome Kentucky Bluegrass ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Hard Fescues ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/pasturegrassposter-091217154541-phpapp01/85/pasture-grass-varieties-for-livestock-in-walla-walla-county-1-320.jpg)
