Extended Lactation herds at Ellinbank are on a 50 day rotation with tillers
containing just under 3 new leaves above residual in the paddock they are
currently grazing.
Some tillers have 4 leaves but they don't have a residual leaf (indicating
they were below grazing height at last grazing, so 4th leaf was presumably
present at last grazing rather than 4 leaves growing in the last 50 days).
All leaves healthy. Wilting today (red soil). 50 days seems ideal for us
at this stage.

hi Peoples
Just wondering what LAR's rye grass growers are seeing in gippsland at the
moment? Also any ideas and stratagies pasture managers are using at the
piont in time?
Would love to hear from anyone.
Thanks. William from Warragul
