The article describes Shoshone sainfoin cultivar, which was developed by Wyoming Agricultural Experiment Station. Shoshone was jointly released by Montana Agricultural Experiment Station and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service. It is a highly heterogeneous seed line derived from the open pollination of 176 plants from six different sources. It is also an extremely palatable and nutritious forage crop that is preferred by cattle, sheep, deer and elk. Furthermore, sainfoin can be used for wildlife habitat restoration and wildlife enhancement.
