- moderately short in height, with very little lodging and has a good record of forage production in Texas and Oklahoma
- tends to be later maturing than prevalent varieties grown in North Texas and has shown a yield advantage when environmental conditions allow a longer growing season
- good winter hardiness, similar to Dallas oat
- good crown rust resistance, but is susceptible to stem rust
- should not be grown in areas prone to severe crown rust epidemics, such as South Texas
