Dick Lucas talks about the cocksfoot pasture established with sub and balansa clovers on 26th Aug (beginning of the third regrowth season) in this first video (approx. 1 min). In the second he discusses the change in the ratio of the ‘Denmark’ and ‘Rosabrook’ sub clover cultivars in the cocksfoot/sub clover pasture (approx. 1 min).
In contrast to the ryegrass-based pastures, discussed in the earlier clips, grazing has not yet started in either of the the cocksfoot-based mixes. The ryegrass pastures were not grazed over winter and had about 4 months regrowth on them whereas these cocksfoot based pastures are currently showing growth accumulated over the past 6 weeks (since removal of the ram hoggets used for the winter clean up graze).
