Better quality feed for longer

 

Bisset creeping bluegrass produces more quality feed because it does not flower or seed until early winter. This means a full season of feed while the moisture is there. Bisset creeping bluegrass was selected for its ability to persist on a range of soils types from low fertility forest soils to self mulching clays.

Bisset has a strong creeping habit, roots develop readily at each node and will withstand heavy grazing. With sound grazing management this will lead to stronger stands that provide good weed competition.

Bisset hay is always in demand due to its high quality fine leaf and stem.
