Characteristics and Management

 

High Stocking Rates

The inclusion of high yielding hybrid Italian and early perennial ryegrasses gives bulky early production which allows high stocking rates.

 

Continuous Growth throughout the Season

Silver Circle contains a range of grass species that produce a steady, but increasing amount of growth throughout the season.

 

Good Early Spring Growth

Silver Circle contains varieties with excellent early growth which allows for an early turn out of stock and a huge saving in concentrate bills.

 

Additional Benefits

• Palatable grazing

• Quality hay and silage

• Excellent ground cover

• Good poaching resistance
