The fact that bluegrass is one of the richest of grasses in digestible protein helps explain the fondness for it shown by stock. Differing from most grasses of the humid regions, mature dried bluegrass is quite readily grazed by animals, thus resembling some of the grasses of the western ranges. With the coming of spring, bluegrass pushes forward so vigorously. Fig. 47.—Beep Cattle Fattening on Bluegrass Pasture In the northeastern United States, Kentucky bluegrass is by far the most im- portant pasture grass. that early in May the fields bear a thick, nutritious carpet of green.
