Festuca arundinacea

Triumphant

Triumphant

Triumphant is a high-performing forage tall fescue developed through multiple cycles of selection for early maturity, vigor, and superior forage yield. Derived from the well-regarded ‘AU Triumph’ and ‘Duramax’ varieties, Triumphant exhibits strong fall and winter growth, ensuring reliable forage production throughout the seasons. With its excellent post-harvest regrowth, this variety supports continuous grazing and hay production, making it an ideal choice for livestock producers seeking both quality and efficiency. Additionally, Triumphant is endophyte neutral, meaning it may contain endophytes, but they are not considered a toxic threat, ensuring safer forage for livestock.

Designed for regions in the U.S. where early-season production is critical, Triumphant provides a valuable advantage by allowing livestock to transition from costly stored winter feed to fresh pasture sooner. This early growth also benefits baleage producers by enabling an earlier first cut for high-quality forage. In the fall, Triumphant offers rapid regrowth, producing an abundant stockpile for extended grazing into the colder months.
