Key benefits
- Modern Cocksfoot and Tall Fescue varieties are bred to be softer and finer-leaved than their predecessors, for better palatability, digestibility, and ease of management
- Ryegrasses in the sward are highly productive, contributing to the total performance
- Tall fescue is a winter-active species, extending the growing season. They add excellent drought tolerance due to their deep rooted, persistent nature but are also more tolerant of waterlogged soils
- Cocksfoot grows early in the spring, delivering that vital early bite for lambing
- Clover provides additional quality and protein in the sward, as well as nitrogen fixation
BARMIX uses the best new cocksfoot and tall fescue varieties to produce a highly palatable, very productive ley for tough conditions.
BARMIX offers a variety of benefits all tied into one product: a multispecies blend means increased root structure diversity in the soil for improved drought tolerance, increased nutrient and water efficiency, and lower fertilizer inputs, while maintaining a diverse nutritional profile with highly digestible fibre for animal performance.
An innovative mixture developed to offer an option for beef and sheep enterprises looking for low input, high output. Produces one or two cuts of high quality forage.
BARMIX can be closed up after spring grazing for bale silage, haylage or hay. To maintain quality, ensure there is sufficient grazing pressure through the early spring.
This mixture can be grazed all year.
