WinterCrop Pasture Mixes – Built for Winter & Spring Feed
WinterCrop blends are a practical choice for farmers chasing reliable winter grazing and heavy spring fodder production. These mixes often include species like annual ryegrass, oats, ryecorn, peas, and vetch — all selected for cool-season performance.
Why choose a WinterCrop mix?
- Grows well in cold soils – fast germination & early growth
- High-quality feed for silage, hay or grazing
- Suits dairy, beef and sheep systems
- Strong, leafy varieties = bulk feed fast
- Custom mixes available – just ask!
If none of our standard blends fit, we can tailor a mix to match your farm’s needs and livestock.
