Vibrant Forage Brassica
Estimated Delivery between April 24 and April 26.
Vibrant is a high-performing leafy hybrid brassica - a cross between turnip and rape - bred to deliver fast establishment, excellent regrowth, and top-quality feed. It combines the quick maturity and palatability of turnips with the persistence and yield of forage rape.
Vibrant is one of the most versatile brassicas available, providing rapid summer feed, autumn grazing, or a quality break crop for pasture renewal. Its soft, digestible leaves and regrowth ability make it ideal for lamb finishing, dairy heifers, or beef cattle.
