For Grazing Silage and Hay

For early production dry seed prior to the break where paddocks are clean and you are comfortable with the risk

Ensure plants are not prone to pulling then graze at 6 to 8cm high to increase tiller density. Then implement a rotational grazing program through winter and spring

Cut mid spring for silage, late spring for hay or lock up for seed set
