CRESTED WHEATGRASS—tThe Miracle Grass 
Builds BEEF and MUTTON 
A drought resistant, long lived perennial bunch grass, introduced by Professor 
Hansen of South Dakota State College, who found it in Siberia from where 
he also introduced Cossack Alfalfa. It is as perfect a balanced diet as can be 
found in one plant. Sometimes called the Miracle Grass because of its: 
RESISTANCE TO SEVERE CLIMATIC CONDITIONS: Introduced from the 
plains of Siberia, it has stood the most severe droughts of the western plains 
and has withstood temperatures ranging from 50 degrees below zero to 120 
degrees above during hot and dry summer months. 
LONG GROWING SEASON: Becomes green two weeks earlier in the spring 
than other grasses and stays green later in the fall. Has grown four inches 
in November and December before below zero temperatures put it in a 
temporary dormant stage. | 
HEAVY PRODUCTIVITY: The Wyoming Experiment Station reports that its 
hay produces seven times as much meat per acre as is produced by native 
grass hay. Produces twice as much pasture and hay of high palatability as 
native grass. Tests as high as 35 per cent protein AND shows absolutely, no 
effect from heavy grazing. 
RECLAIMING VALUE: Because of its heavy root system and resistance to 
severe Climate, it has reclaimed millions of acres of land apparently ruined 
by erosion. It reseeds itself and chokes out weeds, conserves moisture and 
at the same time provides a wonderful forage for livestock.

Wheatgrass is not only the most profitable for beef cattle but is also the best year round 
permanent pasture for production of wool and mutton on dry upland 
in west and southwest states
