Sward Management

This ley was initially designed as a dairy paddock grazing mixture, but has been cut and grazed very successfully on all types of farms. Tight heading date grouping make it easily manageable and reduces the need for topping. Grass growth from this mix stays in front of the cows not ahead. This means cows are always grazing optimum quality grass. Cut at first ear emergence, in late May, this ley will produce grass of 70+D.
