Triticale seed

Does anyone know where I'll find triticale seed? Plan on putting it in for wholecrop and then getting hold of a forager with a stripper header for harvest? People usually slate triticale for the high straw to grain ratio making it a bit bland and not milky enough for a dairy ration but with a stripper header it would solve that problem

How much are you looking for Barmy ? We are processing Somtri at the moment and may once we know the out turn have a bit to spare.

I've had a lot success with Triticale. I undersow it with something like Westerwolds and bale it all. I also leave some fields just grass silage as I find the younger stock take longer to get into the Trit bales. The cows the very first year were the same for a day or so and then they took off on it.

I made a short thread about it a few years ago
