We are delighted with an average yield of 10t DM/ha

We have fattened 1700 Shetland lambs off 45 acres of Maris Kestrel from the end of September to the start of December and will then graze 300 ewe lambs for 4-6 weeks over the remaining stubble. We are delighted with an average yield of 10t DM/ha and have found it to be well utilised with both leaf and stem very palatable.
