In grazing areas of Britain is normal practice to run a rotary mower [topper] over the pasture at least once a year.

It cuts off seed head stems and old tough clumps of grass which the cattle & sheep wont eat. It also encourages the existing grass plants to produce new paletable grass stems.

Red Clover is sometimes grown as part of grass seed mixtures to provide extra nutrition in hay or silage only - Red Clover grazed by sheep can cause Bloat.

Its normal to include White Clover in all grass seed mixtures for grazing & for forage. It is a plant which transfers nitrogen from the air into the soil.
