Hi Brett,

Thanks for sharing.

It’s all in the timing.

Last year, the comeback of multi species plots at Nevs’ was worse in strips that were grazed a bit later, maybe because the plants had started going to seed and exhausted reserves?

On the flip side, species like chicory, plantain etc… need enough time to get established before grazing.

This year, on a property in Boddington, we went in a bit earlier (as soon as the first species started to flower) on a somewhat graze tolerant multi-species mix – forage barley, oats, serradella, chicory, plantain, clover, forage brassica ryegrass, phalaris…

Will keep you posted on how it plays out.
