extended season to harvest
top quality, highly palatable
forage for his animals.

than with most other timothy
varieties. This permits
animals to get a higher
percentage of their nutrient
needs from forage and less
from higher cost con
centrates.
Goliath is especially suited
for use with North American
types of alfalfa, birdsfoot
trefoil and clovers.
The seed production
characteristics of Goliath,
have been good, and it is
expected to produce a more
reliable seed supply than
many other varieties.
