Summer annuals are typically warm season grasses that can provide grazing or be used for harvested feed for beef cattle. Summer annuals can work well when planted in dryland or irrigated cropping systems and as an emergency/salvage crop that can be inter-seeded through hail damaged crops to provide grazing, silage, or hay for beef cattle. Summer annuals complement cool season forages because their peak growth occurs in July and August when cool season plants are mature and decreasing in quality.
