Bearcat is a diploid double-cut red clover. Complimented by aggressive regrowth and a superior disease resistance package, it has shown outstanding stand persistence and high forage yield. Disease resistance breeding included Fusarium wilt inoculation and Mycoleptodiscus root rot selections, which have contributed to its hardiness and consistent productivity in adverse environments.
Bearcat is a medium maturity red clover. It has a semi-erect growth habit, medium-to-tall height, and pubescent stems and leaves. Flower color is predominantly medium pink.
