CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS This is what our customers said about our medium-term grass seed mixtures.
FORTRESS
MEDIUM-TERM
Philip Misselbrook,
Hertfordshire, Suckler beef, buy-in reared calves and sheep
“We reseed ground as and when it needs a refresh to maintain production levels for our suckler herd and grazing sheep, so we like a mix which lasts three to four years. With Fortress, we’ve sown around 40 acres over the last two years and have been thrilled by its performance. Its early spring growth allows two cuts of round baled silage and haylage, and it maintains its quality over winter for sheep grazing. Despite not having the weather for perfect silage growing and having dry land, Fortress has provided quality forage for our beef cattle, and will remain our go-to for further reseeding.”
Thomas Gravel,
Carmarthenshire, Dairy farm
SOVEREIGN
“We run a New Zealand based system, so we need our grass mixes to be robust and resilient. Often we create our own, reseeding 20% of the farm each year, and Sovereign plays a big role in our mix. We need quality leys which provide a good sward with high levels of production for at least eight years, and Sovereign does just this. Each season, we graze our cows for around six to seven months as well as being able to take three to four cuts of quality silage. We’re very happy with how Sovereign performs.”
Keith Williams,
Pembrokeshire, Contract-rear heifers
FORTRESS
“Fortress helped us clinch the win as ‘All Wales Big-Bale Champion’ in 2020, with the highest quality sample of the group. Day-to-day, the forage produced from our nine acres is the sole element of the diet for the 160 heifers we contract rear. It provides enough energy to cover heifer maintenance and growth, meaning no concentrates need to be fed. We’re thrilled with its performance and it’s very easy to manage in the field, taking cuts every month throughout the growing season to prevent it going too mature.”
