• Animals fed on red clover / grass silage will eat more and perform better than those fed on grass silage alone due to increased intakes and protein levels
  
• Designed for yield and persistence, combining the yield of the grasses with additional protein from the Ensign Red clover blend
  
• Contains Barclamp, new for 2020 with good persistency, excellent early spring growth of 112%, exceptional ground cover and the latest Heading Hybrid variety on SRUC Recommended List
  
• This mixture 'fixes' up to 200kg/Ha of nitrogen, meaning it grows with no applications of bagged nitrogen
  
• Trials have shown a 3% improvement in kill out percentage for lambs finished on red clover
  
• The high clover content will benefit from a pH of 6 or more and close attention to P and K levels
  

 

WHEN TO SOW

PROTEIN will grow at soil temperatures of down to 5°C, enabling the growing season to be extended. Clover will germinate at 10°C.

 

WHEN TO CUT

Three cuts of high protein forage can be taken from this highly productive mixture.

 

Both grass and clover heading dates have been matched to ensure a consistent, quality crop of silage.

 

WHEN TO GRAZE

Post-cutting grazing is ideal for finishing lambs or grazing young cattle.

 

Breeding sheep should avoid all red clover sources for six weeks pre-tupping until six weeks after tupping as phytoestrogen can affect the breeding cycle and conception rates.
