Cutting and grazing

 

HYBRID EARLY CUT & GRAZE is an excellent cutting and grazing ley using the most persistent hybrid varieties for up to five years’ production. Designed to provide excellent spring growth, enabling an early first cut.

 

HYBRID EARLY CUT & GRAZE produces highly digestible forage from a late May - early June first cut with the mixture averaging over 70% D value throughout the season. This top-quality dual purpose mixture has the ability to be grazed from early spring through to late summer. If it is being used as cut and graze, the mixture will deliver two exceptional silage cuts and early summer grazing, making it truly flexible.
