Deep rooted and resilient, it performs particularly well in areas where summer moisture can be limited and maintains productivity when less drought-tolerant pasture species begin to struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell suited to a wide range of soil types, Yarck establishes a strong perennial pasture with good recovery following grazing. Once established, its extensive root system helps plants access moisture deeper in the soil profile, contributing to excellent persistence through dry periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leafy growth provides useful, high-quality forage for grazing livestock and responds well to rotational grazing. \u003cstrong\u003eCocksfoot can also be grown as cat grass\u003c\/strong\u003e, with young foliage grown in pots or trays providing fresh grass for indoor cats to nibble. Yarck can be grown as part of a mixed pasture with suitable legumes and other perennial grasses or established where a tough, dependable grass is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 440 seeds per gram\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 400 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Not generally suited to hot tropical conditions\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Autumn to early winter\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Autumn and spring\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Autumn and spring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow into a well-prepared, weed-free seedbed, broadcasting evenly or drilling into shallow rows.

Maintain adequate moisture during establishment and avoid heavy grazing until plants have developed a strong root system.
