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.

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.
