fodder radish grazeing with sheep

[JD-Kid]

go some lunch fodder radishs i can buy been reading a few things looking at a radish annual grass gland and crimson clover mix
any one gone down that road with that kind mix
main use winter and early spring lambing feeds paddocks it's on prone to die and dry out in summer due to lack of rains
the oats may find it tough going due to salt spray in area

will be drilling some things in the next few months
looking like radish 1/2 year grass crimson clover gland clover mix as a 1-2 year mix more aimed at just a winter spring crop
one paddock higher rate of radish then once grazed DD oats in to it for balage
some will be a more 3-4 year mix red clovers chicoys platains 1-3 year grass etc
them much the same but no short term grass that gets swaped out for a high ccksfoot rate

the 1 year and the pure radish mix are test dummys i think there is some good things about them and will see if the radish can help open the ground up
if and it's a big if the radish then oat crop works it maybe a start of crop ie do that frist then following year maybe a 1 year brew or go to the 3-4 year mix in to the oat stubble alot of maybes and thinking needed
