Timothy is a type of grass known scientifically as Phleum pratense. It is commonly used as forage for livestock, particularly for horses and cattle. This perennial grass is valued for its high nutritional content and palatability, making it a popular choice among farmers. Timothy grass typically grows in clumps and can reach heights of 2 to 4 feet. It thrives in well-drained soils and is often found in temperate regions. The grass is usually harvested for hay, which is dried and stored for animal feed during the winter months.
