Top Quality Grass Leys
Top quality grass leys are the foundation of healthy, productive land. Carefully selected seed mixtures, tailored to your soil and farming system, can transform grazing performance, improve forage yields, and boost long-term profitability. Whether you’re looking to establish a high-output dairy sward, resilient sheep grazing, or versatile conservation ground, the right ley delivers reliable growth, excellent nutritional value, and lasting persistence. With expert advice and proven varieties, you can create grassland that works harder, lasts longer, and supports your livestock year after year. Please note varieties may change without prior notice.
RBC1
One Year Ley
A one-year high-yielding ley suited to silage, hay, or haylage, offering a large first cut and two to three cuts per year. It establishes quickly, should be drilled in early autumn for best spring growth, and can also be used as a break crop.

Two Year Italian
A two-year all-Italian ley makes an ideal break crop, producing up to four high-yielding cuts of quality silage and also suitable for excellent hard horse hay. It has early heading dates for an early, clamp-filling first cut, must be sown in autumn to allow vernalization, and germinates well in cooler temperatures. It is well suited to anaerobic digestion plants and responds very quickly to fertiliser application.

Hybrid Silage
A four-year silage ley capable of producing up to four high-yielding cuts of excellent-quality silage or haylage, with the added benefit of late-season grazing. It combines Italian-style yields with perennial persistency and quality, features 100% tetraploids for higher sugar content and excellent fermentation, and is available with an optional ground-cover component to improve grazing and moisture retention. This mixture is also an excellent choice for overseeding, with a white clover option available.

Horse & Pony Paddock
Horses graze differently to ruminants and can quickly damage pastures if not mixed grazed, as they nibble below the growing point and harm the plant in a way cattle do not. This creates bare patches that are easily invaded by weeds such as ragwort, chickweed, creeping buttercup, and unpalatable weed grasses like annual meadow grass. Designed specifically for horse grazing, RBC 10 produces a nutritious, palatable sward with early, mid, and late-season growth to help keep both the horse and the pasture in a healthy condition.
