FEATURES
- A traditional dual-purpose mixture for cutting or grazing under a low input mixed farm system.
- Provides a good cut of silage/hay followed by aftermath grazing.
- Combines tetraploid and diploid first choice to give yield, quality and ground cover.
BENEFITS
- Long seasonal growth.
- Persistent, tight sward to maintain yield and to help avoid poaching.
MANAGEMENT
- Hard sheep grazing may cause timothy to be less persistent.
- If it’s cut every year, timothy can dominate.
- Best suited to cattle and sheep grazing management with the occasional cut.
ADDITIONAL POINTS
- Italian or hybrid ryegrass can be added if required to provide production in the establishment year.
