[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7438052, member: 86168"] having learn't that young dock leaf's are 25% protien, in a multicut system, they could provide some useful fibre, and send long taproots down, helping to prevent panning, quite a change around ! I wonder how they would survive very regular defoliation, every 5/6 weeks, keep going, or die back. Again it would be interesting to know what research has been down on a whole range of weeds, other than the most efficient way of killing them. Generally it is becoming accepted that stock respond well to a pasture with a variety of plant life, rather than a monoculture, of ryegrass, and weeds, together with clover. Our problem here, is we lose the rg in a very dry time, and that is why this thread interests me so much. It's the time of year that seed brochures fall through the letter box, and most have a herbal ley mix, all slightly different, so how do we select the 'right' one, perhaps it would be an idea, to post what mixes they have found the best. So far, we have in the ground, cocksfoot, timothy, festololiums, along with clover, plantains, vetches and loads of w clover. The other brochures arriving are the semen ones, 1 yesterday, 28 hol bulls listed, all genomic, bar 1, and most contain a majority of genomic bulls, and a vast majority of those genomic bulls, one never hears of again, although they tell us genomics is the 'way to go', i do have doubts, similarly the move to friesian, has produced a load of genomic bulls, with very little/none, statistics on shape etc. Perhaps i am just too fussy !
