A producer initiated project was conducted to investigate the management of Wynn cassia (WC) and its value as a pasture and fodder crop under commercial conditions. Pure swards of WC consistently resulted in lower animal performance than alternative pastures, giving 20-30% lower live weight gain than other improved pastures. This could result in potential losses of over $200/ha depending on stocking rate and cattle prices.
