A long-term, hard-wearing mixture that will produce quality forage over a long grazing season. Early and spring grazing yields are exceptional at 110% of the bench-mark figure for ryegrasses from the AHDB/BSPB recommended grass and clover list.
Early bite has historically been mostly targeted at sheep farmers looking for early production to turn ewes and lambs out onto. However, this sward will work equally well for beef and dairy producers who are looking for strong early growth that continues to deliver right through the growing season.
