Meatmaster Pastoral

Meatmaster Pastoral is a phalaris, cocksfoot and sub-clover pasture mix designed for tougher temperate environments that typically have a later autumn break and less reliable spring conditions. Horizon phalaris and Summadorm cocksfoot are well-proven, productive, winter active grasses that exhibit strong summer dormancy, and ability to persist and produce well in soils and on sites with reduced moisture holding capacity. These grasses also have improved tolerance to acid soil conditions, and combined with Losa and Campeda sub-clovers, create an ideal solution for improved extensive cattle and sheep pastures where persistence and opportunistic grazing may be more important than outright year-round yield potential. 

In better than average seasons, the some-what elastic-seasonality of Horizon phalaris and Campeda sub clover create the opportunity for extended spring growth. Once established, Meatmaster Pastoral offers a truly resilient grass/clover pasture that should persist and produce for many, many years.
