Maris Kestrel Forage Kale Seeds - The Ultimate Winter Stock Feed

Maris Kestrel Kale is widely recognised as a premier, cost-effective winter feed solution for all classes of livestock, including sheep and cattle. This variety offers an exceptional leaf-to-stem ratio and high digestibility, making it perfect for direct grazing and outwintering programs.

The high-yielding nature and superb cold weather and frost tolerance of Maris Kestrel ensure your animals receive a palatable, high-quality feed source deep into the colder months, providing crucial flexibility for managing grass shortages.


 

Key Performance Benefits 

  • Exceptional Winter Hardiness: Highly tolerant of cold weather and frost, maintaining quality when other feeds fail.

  • High Palatability & Intake: Excellent flavour drives high consumption levels in livestock.

  • High Leaf-to-Stem Ratio: Provides superior digestibility and nutritional value compared to many conventional kales.

  • Reduced Lodging Risk: Strong stems resist falling over, ensuring the crop remains available for grazing.

  • Versatile Use: Ideal for supplementing or replacing conventional feed from July to the following February.
