Sow GRAZE-N-SILE B/S PLUS from October to January when soil temperature is consistently 20–25°C into good moisture. Drill at 8–12 kg/ha in rows 50–75 cm apart, or broadcast at 10–15 kg/ha, sowing seed 20–40 mm deep for reliable germination. Allow 6–8 weeks for plants to reach 60–80 cm tall before first grazing. Manage multiple grazings through summer and autumn; cease grazing at first frost. Tips: CRITICAL: Never graze sorghum shorter than 60 cm — young, frosted, or drought-stressed plants accumulate dangerous prussic acid (HCN) that can kill stock rapidly. After frost, wait 5–7 days before resuming grazing. Avoid grazing wet, lush sorghum to prevent bloat; ensure stock have access to other roughage.
