KALE

• Improved animal intake particularly in adverse weather, when grazing time may be limited. More energy per bite and less wastage
• Reduced wastage also means increased efficiency, which is environmentally better
• Bombardier easy graze kale suits systems where higher animal intakes and performance are required. These include dairy cow grazing for increased BCS and heifer, bull and steer systems where weight gain is critical

• Caledonian is a tall, high yielding kale with softer stems that provides excellent winter feed for cattle
• Its higher stem quality increases animal performance (or crop utilisation) over older, tall cultivars
• Good winter hardiness and, like all kales, has good club root tolerance

• Produces a very high leaf yield, which converts to a high leaf-to-stem ratio
• Bred with stem quality in mind
• Late flowering kale

• Excellent quality and utilisation for wintering all classes of cattle where high performance is demanded
• High yielding intermediate height kale with a potential yield of 16 tDM/ha
• High leaf-to-stem ratio, with very good late winter leaf percentage and soft stems
• Very good winter hardiness and excellent pest and disease tolerance

• Very good winter hardiness and snow loading ability
• Consistently high leaf to stem ratio, around 60%, high dry matter content, ME and digestibility, providing good utilisation
• Medium stem, high yielding and low SMCO (S-methylcysteine sulphoxide)

• High leaf-to-stem ratio, and high overall yield potential
• Very good winter hardiness and grazing utilisation
• Good disease tolerance

• High yielding giant type kale
• Highest leaf-to-stem ratio of giant kales
• Winter hardy
• Good aphid tolerance

• Outstanding leaf-to-stem ratio with very good late winter leafiness
• Short height ideal for younger stock classes and sheep wintering systems
• Excellent crop utilisation due to highly digestible stem
• Superior animal production due to enhanced forage quality
