Description
Warm-season feed with diversity, quality and system resilience
The Summer Multi Species Blend is designed to provide reliable summer forage while supporting soil function and maintaining feed quality through warm conditions.
By combining fast-growing warm-season species with legumes, herbs and brassicas, this blend delivers bulk, palatability and grazing flexibility, making it a strong option where summer feed gaps, variable rainfall and soil resilience are key considerations.
Why choose a summer multi species blend?
- Warm-season bulk feed when cool-season species slow
- Improved feed quality and palatability in summer
- Diverse root depths for moisture and nutrient use
- Better groundcover and soil protection
- Flexibility under variable rainfall conditions
- Reduced reliance on a single summer forage species
