Abstract
Seasonal protein percentages of buffalograss, blue grama, sideoats grama and black grama were highest in June and lowest in February and March. Blue grama contained the highest average per cent protein. Buffalograss showed the least yearly fluctuation. Average protein percentages of the four grasses seldom met protein requirements for beef cows.
