FEATURES
- A mix designed for predominantly sheep grazing due to high clover inclusion.
- More suited to a low input system with a heavy reliance on clover.
- Especially suited to late grazing of lambs, with the clover enhancing live weight gain.
BENEFITS
- Palatable season long growth.
- Persists well with frequent defoliation management (eg. sheep grazing).
- Less use of fertiliser nitrogen.
MANAGEMENT
- Grazes at regular intervals and grows well into autumn.
ADDITIONAL POINTS
- Not suited where large applications of nitrogen are planned.
- If the clover was replaced with MSP ‘Cutting’ Clover Blend, this mixture would produce a medium-term intensive cutting ley suitable for one or two cuts per year.
