Bill, who farms the family farm 'Blink Bonnie' at Fordell near Wanganui had heard good things about chicory for finishing lambs, so set up a programme in 2007 to sow Puna II in 2008. Bill had phenominal growth following sowing, with lambs grazing in 48 days.
In January this year Bill weighed the lambs on and off his best clover flush pastures and his 20ha Puna II chicory block. The lambs gained 355gms LW per day on the pasture block and 310gms LW per day on the chicory. The difference was the stocking rate on the Puna II block which was 3 times the rate which could be fed on the pasture.
"We recognised there is some maintenance required to keep a stand of Puna II & clover in good order, but we are now well set up to go into our third season later this year. Kilos of quality lamb out the gate is the real advantage we can see for chicory, the results speak for themselves."
