Fast Establishment
Quick to establish with rapid growth. Very competitive against weeds and fast to recover after cutting/grazing.
Grass Only
Intensive production for maximum yield of forage with high nitrogen applications.Ref: MIXB. Early growth, high yields and good persistence make hybrid ryegrasses worth considering when the ley is expected to remain down for more than two years. Utilising excellent hybrid varieties, this ley is comparable, in terms of output, with Italian ryegrass leys. It should also be noted that the grazing potential of this ley is superior.

The selected products below may also work for your criteria but would not be a typical choice.
Permanent Grass
This versatile mixture contains persistent varieties ensuring good yields for cutting and grazing over many years. Timothy is extremely resistant to cold temperatures and provides good late-season growth. The thick bottomed sward structure is obtained by using late perennial ryegrasses and highly nutritious white clover. This mixture is very hardy and can be grown in upland or lowland areas.
Ryegrass Over-Seeding Longer Term 4-5 Years
A flexible mixture for grazing or cutting fields which require longer term improvement. The grasses will provide growth from spring through the summer.

Equine Pasture Mix - Long Term No Ryegrass
This is a more persistent, non-ryegrass mix providing good quality, diverse forage with a low sugar content. Although this mix will take a little longer to establish than a ryegrass based mix, it will provide a dense, resilient turf with balanced forage for grazing and hay.

Herbal AD Mix for Heavy Soils 4 Year Ley
Where the standard Herbal AD mix above is great for light land, there are some species ion this mix which may not survive as well on heavier or wetter soils. This 'Heavy Soil' equivalent mixture is an alternative choice which only contains species which will grow on these heavier soil types with poorer drainage, but still provides all the benefits of a deep rooting and diverse mixture.
