FEATURES AND BENEFITS
RGT Tenderly is a next-generation cocksfoot bred for maximum intake, resilience, and livestock performance.
Developed through RAGT’s world-leading cocksfoot breeding programme, it delivers enhanced digestibility and palatability, supporting higher stock intake and improved liveweight gain.
Built with global expertise and farmer feedback, RGT Tenderly overcomes the coarseness of traditional varieties and performs exceptionally as a dominant cocksfoot pasture or as a background species in perennial mixes, making it highly versatile across farm systems.
Known as the ultimate pasture addition, it is specifically designed to build summer resilience and sward diversity. Outperforming older cultivars like RGT Greenly II, it regrows quickly after dry spells because of its superb water use efficiency, providing reliable feed when conditions are challenging.
With an intermediate heading date and strong early spring growth, RGT Tenderly delivers high-quality feed precisely when demand peaks, helping farmers maintain stock condition and maximise profitability through tough seasons. Its combination of yield, resilience, and digestibility makes it a practical, long-term solution for pasture performance under variable conditions.
FARM SUITABILITY
A robust option for summer-dry regions, maintaining growth through warmer months. Deep roots and natural pest tolerance provide a reliable feed base when other species falter.
RGT Tenderly is suitable for all stock classes and thrives under set-stocking once established.
Recommended sowing rate: 2–5 kg/ha as a secondary component in a mix for pasture insurance, or 8–10 kg/ha for a specialist stand paired with compatible legumes like subterranean clover.
