Ideal. Highest DMD and they can pick the best of it before the cows come into it and clear it up. More dosing needed than with aftergrass but leader/follower system shown to give very good results

Most important is to give fresh grass every day or 2 then no need meals
also if moved every day they will not taint grass on cows

covers 1100 to 1400
