It produces dense, upright, leafy growth (2–4 ft) that's grazing-ready in as little as 6–8 weeks — one of the fastest forage crops there is. The leaves and stems are high-protein (about 15–20% crude protein) and highly palatable for cattle, sheep, goats, and deer. It tolerates moderate frost, so it keeps feeding well past the first freeze, and it is the most economical brassica per acre — the most high-protein forage for your dollar. A favorite double-crop after small-grain harvest, it puts otherwise idle late-summer ground to work. Our seed is uncoated and tested for purity and germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -14.0pt;
