[AlpacaTalk] seeding new pasture in Maine

I have property in Corinna, ME that I cleared last fall. I am ready to
seed it. It will be used for grazing but probably not for a couple
years so it will have time to establish and be properly mowed. The
property will never be used for haying. Too hilly and too wet at
times. I am seeking advice from anyone who has seeded their own
property or has hired someone to seed their property or knows of
anyone who has seeded. I have already done the soil test. rich in
nutrients. limed last fall but it was too late to seed. i have done
some research and have found this...

orchard grass blend:

grazing blend:

i am thinking 1 part grazing blend with 2 or 3 parts orchard grass
blend to cut the potency of the clover. this seems to be a balanced
blend for the alpaca and well suited to the climate of corinna, me.
