Skyfall is a bounce back brassica, bred to provide a palatable leafy feed which can be fed either in the summer, when grass growth might be limited, or sown later, to enable the crop to be grazed in the autumn.
Skyfall’s deep roots enables regrowth potential and the possibility of producing 3 grazings from one crop.
Countryside Stewardship option.
Skyfall provides high protein content for livestock feeding.

• High protein forage
• Fast-growing – 10 to 12 weeks from sowing to grazing
• Leafy and palatable grazing crop for cattle and sheep
• Produces between 30 and 35 tonnes/ha
• Deep rooting so withstands dry conditions
• Regrowth potential – bounces back after first round of grazing and provides a second crop
• Break crop – short-circuits weeds and pest problems in grassland
“The lambs loved it, and devoured the crop in three weeks, grazing it right down...We moved them off in mid-August, I then waited to see if the crop did what it was meant to do...I couldn’t believe the speed of the regrowth. It was exceptional.”
"Skyfall is very palatable to both sheep and cattle, and they did well on it...It just doesn’t stop growing. It’s a win-win really.”
