Redstart
Forage Brassicas
For summer or autumn grazing.
Bred in New Zealand, it was selected for spring sowing and summer grazing. It is higher yielding than Winfred but with similar high palatability and regrowth characteristics if first grazed at about eight weeks from emergence. It reaches full yield potential in 110 days.
Experience during the hard winter of 2010–11 suggests that Redstart also exhibits good hardiness, so can be summer sown for autumn and early winter utilisation.
