Don't know yetAny idea how you get on with Sparta cocksfoot for grazing?
I've specced a couple of kgs in my silage leys, but gone for Donata on grazing ground as supposedly more palatable.

Good man. Don't make a mess of it like you do with jam & cream.Dairy grazer going in next week

You can beat PRG with diverse swards if on light land and low growing season rainfall.Is this for cows to milk on or flowers for the garden
Can’t beat prg/ white clover
we are finding prg tends to head, when stressed, very quickly, so moving away from it being the highest % seed, in the mix, mainly because it tended to 'synchronise' itself across the grazing block, we ended up premowing, which the cows didn't like, according to the b/tank.You can beat PRG with diverse swards if on light land and low growing season rainfall.
I do spec PRG in the mix for shoulders of the season and cool season growth, but my PRG and white clover leys burn up and overall produce less than the herbal leys in my experience.
And for silage, I won't even consider Italian Ryegrass now. Heads for fun and too much bare dirt.
Can I ask how you're drilling that please?Going into established sward
Thanks and no and no!Cracking ley, looks pretty strong that, going to take a cut or trample it in?
Are you allowed fert on it?
GS4 makes up with cold hard £ for lower productionIs this for cows to milk on or flowers for the garden

Have you done that before and if so how successful? My contractor has a Moore unidrill which I've found a bit hit and miss...Einbock

I had 30 acres to do here last month but couldn't get any contractors here to spray anything or do the drilling and it's a bit late now to be putting herbs in on this farm
