Stubble turnips are a fast, low-cost catch crop that grows well on most soils, ideally with a pH of 6.5. They’re more tolerant of acidity than many other brassicas and are often sown after cereals or in midsummer. Ready in just 12–14 weeks, they respond well to seedbed fertiliser and a nitrogen top-up if needed. Highly palatable and nutritious, they’re ideal for sheep and should be strip grazed to make best use of the crop and reduce waste.


Can produce very large tankard shaped purple bulks. This variety which is tried and tested in the UK has been shown to be preferentially grazed which can lead to higher intakes and live weight gain. Ideal for finishing lambs and grazing cattle.
It is a winter hardy variety that has excellent root anchorage that can reduce wastage. It is green skinned and quick to establish with a leafy growth habit. Being frost tolerant it is a viable option for sowing later in the season. Rondo is a high-yielding variety that provides excellent energy from its leafy tops and swollen roots. It is well-suited for grazing in late autumn and winter, making it valuable during periods of forage shortage. Sheep generally find Rondo turnips palatable, which helps with intake and performance. Offers good digestibility, especially when grazed in situ.
This leafy brassica is an excellent grazing option for dairy, beef, and sheep systems. Although it produces a small bulb, its large, highly palatable leaves offer a high-protein forage ready for grazing within 10–12 weeks of sowing. With yields of 30–35 tonnes per hectare, it provides abundant, nutritious feed. Its deep roots help it withstand dry conditions, while strong regrowth potential allows for a second grazing after the first round. As a useful break crop, it also helps disrupt weed and pest cycles in grassland rotations.
Trusted for its winter hardiness and palatability it is an excellent choice for after harvest. It is a white skinned globe type which mostly sits out of the ground but is well anchored. It has a very clean root.
A hybrid turnip that is a cross between a stubble turnip and a Chinese cabbage. It produces a very small bulb but massive palatable leaves. It benefits from being Spring sown and grazed in the summer and offers regrowth potential. Extremely fast growing and can be utilised in 8-10 weeks.
This variety produces large, purple tankard-shaped roots with excellent keeping and grazing qualities. It sits high in the ground, making it easy for livestock to access, and offers strong resistance to both mildew and club
Sown in mid-summer, this variety provides high-quality grazing through autumn and winter. Its balanced 50:50 leaf-to-root ratio makes it highly palatable, while strong resistance to bolting, clubroot, and alternaria ensures reliable performance in the field.
