Red Clover
As well as this it’s ability to improve soil structure and increase fertility out weigh the management issues historically associated with red clover. Red clover tillers from a crown. It is damage to this crown that reduces the longevity of red clover typically lasting 3 years.
Red clover is high in protein but low in sugar it therefore needs special attention when making silage. It can affect fertility of ewes, due to oestrogen production, if grazed six weeks prior to tupping. As well as the potential for bloat problems.
