Your Weekly Grass10 Update
Description
For this week’s Grass10 grazing management update, John Maher explains that June is a challenging month for grass quality as we are now in the main heading phase for perennial ryegrass.
Pre grazing yield is too high on many farms:
- Watch rotation length (Target 18-21 days)
- Minimise stem content
- Grazing covers >1500 kg DM/ha will have a negative effect on animal performance, pasture cleanout, grass recovery and quality in the subsequent rotation
