Perennial grasses are well suited to the high rainfall and long growing seasons of southern regions of Western Australia. They benefit agricultural industries based on pasture because: the feed production pattern is better suited to animal requirements than that provided by annual pasture. This means reduced weight loss through summer/autumn. Beef can be turned off earlier and sheep grow more uniform, stronger wool. Perennials significantly reduce the need for supplementary feed in grazing systems. : co y farmers to establish and maintain existing perennial pastures. The project field work was conducted on 23 farm locations in south coastal and south western areas receiving more than 600 mm annual rainfall . Field sites were classified as: On-Farm Mo
