[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7740074, member: 348"] The modern varieties of Cocksfoot are supposed to be more palatable and less prone to 'clumpiness'. I put a field of Barmix in last Autumn which has fat lambs in at the moment (after 2 cuts taken), and it shows no sign of being unpalatable or clumpy as yet. Visually it doesn't look any different to a decent ryegrass ley tbh, albeit one with a lot of clover in it. It's not a droughty field, far from it, but I chose it as I thought it would maybe stand traffic better when we are allowed to have the local show there again. Not been disappointed with the performance, and would have thought it would be ideal on drought prone land, having a lot of Cocksfoot and tall fescue, and grows when it's cold. There's a Barenbrug supplier down in your part of the world, if I could only remember who it was... [/QUOTE]
