ADDITIONAL POINTS
- An MSP Herb Ley sown in spring 2019 at 14 kgs/acre grazed six ewes in lamb with triplets. It was top-dressed with 50kgs of 20:10:10. The ewes lambed on field grazed nine ewes per acre with twins grass-only fed. In summer, it was top-dressed with another 50kgs of 20:10:10. The lambs were spained and fattened with grass over summer and autumn before the ewes went back to the tup.
