Grazed Grass

Grazed grass is the cheapest form of feed for ruminant livestock and yet it is often taken for granted and under-utilised. High levels of production are possible from well managed swards and this can be effectively converted to milk or meat by the modern dairy cow or beef animal. Kingshay Farming Trust has regularly proved the value and cost effectiveness of grass in profitable systems.
