MEDIUM-TERM

Squire is a high protein, high-energy grass mixture. The high protein content from the red clover makes Squire ideal for two to three silage cuts, with quality aftermath grazing which finishes lambs very well. The red clover content can also help fix up to 100-150kg/N/ ha/year presenting opportunities to reduce nitrogen application. The hybrids included are high yielding and quick to establish – ideal for quick regrowth. The high red clover and tetraploid content results in consistent performance, even in dry years.
