Stego Forage Rape Seeds - High-Protein Summer and Autumn Feed

 

Stego Forage Rape is an extremely high-yielding, fast-growing brassica that provides a highly nutritious and cost-effective feed source. It is particularly well-suited for finishing lambs due to its high protein levels and excellent digestibility.

This variety features a high leaf-to-stem ratio and exceptional disease resistance (including mildew), which means minimal plant residue and maximum utilisation by grazing stock. Stego is flexible and can offer extended grazing for cattle and sheep through summer, autumn, and the start of winter.


Key Benefits of Stego Forage Rape

 

  • Lamb Finishing: High protein and excellent digestibility drive rapid growth rates.

  • High Utilisation: High leaf-to-stem ratio and digestible stems ensure low plant residue after grazing.

  • Disease Resistance: Excellent resistance, including to mildew, ensures maximum palatability and yield.

  • Flexible Grazing: Fast and vigorous establishment allows feeding from June through to December.

  • Outwintering: Suitable for supplementing outwintering systems, often lasting longer than many stubble turnips.
