Example pasture mixes
Dairy Pasture Mix
Rely perennial ryegrass 21 kg/ha
Legacy white clover 2 kg/ha
Quartz white clover 2 kg/ha
Sheep and Beef Pasture Mix
Rely perennial ryegrass 21 kg/ha
Quartz white clover 2 kg/ha

For increased animal performance, nitrogen fixation and pasture management, add Amigain red clover to pasture mixes at 4-6 kg/ha.
Jess has found Rely to work well under both set stocking and rotational grazing. Jess set stocked their triplet bearing ewes on 9 ha where the ewes put on condition. Through summer Jess had fat lambs on rotation between Rely and native pastures and found Rely could handle a higher stocking rate and bounced back faster. Rely will be used in their pasture renewal programme because of its persistency and excellent regrowth.
