Hi Michael,

For grazing purposes a general recommendation would be to use a standard ryegrass and clover mix that had early, mid and late season varieties in it and add some other hardy, graze tolerant species into the mix for diversity.

My suggestion would be to lower the usual rate of ryegrass and clover by around 30% and add 1-2kg of a brassica like tillage radish or forage rape, 1-2kg of chicory, 1-2kg of plantain, a couple of kilos of serradella and around 25kg forage oats or barley for early feed.
