Two high-performing leafy turnip varieties available from The Puzzle Seed Company – select your preferred variety above. Both are fast-establishing, non-bulbing forage brassicas ideal for livestock grazing, with similar sowing requirements.
Appin
Appin offers farmers a highly flexible feeding option, drastically reducing the need for costly concentrates during autumn and winter. Recognised for its rapid growth and excellent regrowth potential, it provides a dependable, palatable, and easily digestible forage source for cattle and sheep. Predominantly leafy with an 80:20 leaf to root ratio, Appin is well suited to multi-grazing systems. Sold in 1 hectare packs (5 kg).
- High Palatability: Excellent taste and texture drive high intakes for both cattle and sheep.
- Flexible Feeding Solution: Reduces reliance on expensive concentrates.
- Fast & Versatile Growth: Exceptional regrowth potential provides multiple grazing opportunities.
- Multi-Grazing: 80:20 leaf to root ratio makes it ideal for repeated grazing events.
Jupiter
Jupiter is a fast-growing, non-bulbing forage brassica that produces a highly leafy canopy. Ready to graze just 6–8 weeks after sowing, it is widely used by livestock farmers for quick summer or autumn grazing. Sold in 2 hectare packs (10 kg).
- Fast Establishment: An excellent catch crop to plant after first-cut silage or winter cereals.
- Strong Regrowth: Regrows well after grazing, providing multiple cuts or grazing events.
- Soil Health: Acts as a weed suppressant and cover crop. Frost-hardy and fixes nitrogen.
