Dairy Premium
Persistence: 4-6 Years
Sowing Rate: 25-30 kg/ha
UMS Dairy Premium blend includes both tetraploid and diploid perennial ryegrass varieties. This will provide all the benefits of a highly palatable, densely-tillered pasture that is not only long lasting, but very quick to recover from grazing. Our Dairy blend consists of late-maturing premium varieties, and the added clover will assist in nitrogen fixation to ensure high quality, year-round production.
Equine
Persistence: 1-2 Years
Sowing Rate: 10-15 kg/ha
With the perfect, palatable ingredients specifically suited to horses, this blend has just enough clover for soil nitrification but not enough to cause laminitis. It will maintain condition without causing ‘over heating’ from excessive energy or protein.
Fat Lamb Factory
Persistence: 3-4 Years
Sowing Rate: 25-30 kg/ha
A high end custom mix designed for high rainfall or irrigation situations, where the main concern will be finding enough livestock to keep on top of this pasture. This blend of ryegrasses and white clover will produce throughout the year.
Hardy Perennial
Persistence: 7-10 Years
Sowing Rate: 10-20 kg/ha
This blend is well suited to both the hill and flat country of the southern tablelands. It was designed to withstand harsh, dry Australian summers and cool, frosty winters while maintaining optimum grazing and palatability for your set stock.
High Density Legume
Persistence: 1 Year
Sowing Rate: 9-15 kg/ha
A specific annual clover blend designed as a break crop, allowing grass weed control, organic matter build-up, nitrogen fixation and high quality fodder conservation opportunities.

Persistence: 1 Year
Sowing Rate: 20-30 kg/ha
A premium mix using high quality diploid and tetraploid ryegrasses combined with Persian, balansa and arrowleaf clovers for maximum dry matter production.
Hill Country
Persistence: 7-10 Years
Sowing Rate: 10-15 kg/ha
Designed for both conventional
and aerial seeding, this blend contains a high level of deep rooted, highly persistent species such as phalaris, sub-clover and cocksfoot with adaptability to a wide range of soil types.
