Annual Ryegrass
Annual ryegrasses are a one year proposition which establish rapidly and provide excellent quality autumn, winter and early spring growth. Some annual cultivars are bred to provide quick winter feed, flower early and die and are typically suited to winter rainfall and areas with hot, dry summers.

Cocksfoot
A very persistent perennial grass that tolerates moisture stress, moderate soil fertility, set stocking situations as well as sandy and acid soils. Cocksfoot is used to enhance the growth and persistence of permanent pastures in dry summer areas. Moderately slow to establish, it has limited winter growth but does add to the overall feed availability as part of the feed offered. However, it has lower digestibility than most other grasses, so to get the most out of cocksfoot, good grazing management is required. To balance a sheeps diet in summer, consider cocksfoot grown at a low rate with lucerne.

Italian Ryegrass
Italian ryegrass is a fast establishing, winter active ryegrass that is more persistent than annual ryegrass with varieties lasting 1-2 years or longer depending on seasonal conditions. Italian ryegrass is most commonly sown for a high quality, short term winter crop that is used to provide multiple grazings in winter and spring.
