	abstract = {Dry matter production and animal performance on plantain and erect annual clovers were monitored on four demonstration sites from 2012 to 2014. These studies confirmed plantain{\textquoteright}s potential for increasing both the quantity and quality of forage produced on cultivated and un-cultivatable hill country. Newly sown plantain produced more dry matter than newly-sown ryegrass over winter and spring. Across three sites, plantain pastures had more clover (32\%, 45\% and 45\%) in October. Lambs grew faster on plantain and had higher dressing-out percentages. Plantain appears less competitive than ryegrass and the grazing management it requires suits erect annual clovers (e.g. Balansa, Persian, Arrowleaf). Because these clovers are aerial seeders, achieving seed set is challenging under grazing. Until management systems can be developed to allow seed set, these clovers are destined to be an annual crop producing a bulk of high quality spring feed in suitable micro-climates. Plantain and erect annual clovers offer a promising alternative to ryegrass-based systems on dryland. However, there is much to learn about the best place for each species and how they fit within a farm system. As with lucerne, plantain and erect annual clovers need to be rotationally grazed to prevent damage to the crown and growing points. The success of these alternative forages in dryland will depend on farmer willingness to embrace new grazing management techniques.},

	abstract = {Differences in onset of oestrus in Romney ewes has been observed  between locations at similar latitudes in the North Island. Two  experiments compared source of ewes and rams, and time of transfer of  ewes between locations on the onset of oestrus in Romney ewes. In Expt  1, groups of 30 ewes were interchanged between Wanganui and Takapau on  14 Nov, 5 Dec and 8 Jan. The next day these ewes plus 30 local ewes  were joined with 3 Poll Dorset rams. There were no effects of ewe  source but ewes at Takapau joined on 15 Nov, 6 Dec and 9 Jan had earlier  onsets-of-oestrus than ewes at Wanganui (P<0.05 to P<0.01). Ewes joined  on 15 Nov and 6 Dec at Wanganui had a later (P<0.01) onset of oestrus  than ewes joined on 9 Jan. In Expt 2, 60 ewes and 3 Poll Dorset rams  were interchanged between Wanganui and Poukawa on 13 Nov. These ewes  plus 60 local ewes were randomly divided in half and recombined to form  2 mixed groups which were joined with 3 Poukawa or 3 Wanganui Poll  Dorset rams. Onset of oestrus was earlier at Poukawa (P<0.001) and for  ewes joined with Wanganui rams (P<0.001) but there were no effects of  ewe source.  },
