Additional Information: Persistent and durable grass species Formulated to produce quality grazing on clay soils Reliable growth without fertiliser applications Excellent regrowth in permanent or rotational grazing Produces good quality hay

Managing horse pastures on cold, heavy clay soils can prove difficult as grass growth and regrowth can be slow in early spring due to low soil temperatures. Meadow Fescue and Timothy were traditionally used for grass production on cold wet ground in areas such as West Wales before the introduction of artificial fertilisers and modern ryegrass varieties out performed these older species and dominated intensive short term forage leys. This mixture establishes a closely knitted, durable, hardwearing sward and provides reliable grazing earlier in the growing season, specially on low input pastures.
