Brassica pasture mixes
Popular Brassica Mixes:
The following suggested mixes are commonly used by many of our clients. These are normally sown down over the Summer or Autumn for various reasons.
These mixes help can increase total dry matter yield, provide variety in stock diet, may help reduce animal health problems and can provide extended seasonal dry matter production.
Often when grazing has finished in the mid to late autumn these paddocks are then direct drilled with a permanent pasture mix.
