Winfred
forage rape

Early maturing, 10-12 weeks
Regrowth potential for 2-4 grazings
Tolerant of dry conditions once established
Ideal for summer, autumn and winter feed

Sow Winfred forage brassica seed at 2-4 kg/ha between April and June for winter grazing, with April-May offering best results for SE Queensland. Sow at a depth of 5-10mm either broadcast or drilled into prepared seedbed. Allow 8-10 weeks from sowing before first grazing, and always introduce stock gradually by limiting grazing to 2-4 hours per day initially, progressively increasing over 7-10 days to prevent metabolic issues. Tips: Winfred is a leafy brassica hybrid specifically suited to SE Queensland conditions and delivers high-quality, high-protein, high-energy winter feed. For best results and to minimise bloat and thyroid problems, always ensure stock have access to roughage (hay or pasture) and avoid exclusive grazing on brassicas alone. Consider companion cropping with oats or ryegrass to provide additional fibre and reduce health risks.
